amputation to treat crps of the leg?

Mother has leg amputated after dropping perfume bottle on her foot Gill Haddington, 42, of Morecambe, Lancashire, saw her foot swell to twice the size from September 2015. Doctors diagnosed the excruciating condition chronic regional pain syndrome. www.dailymail.co.uk Article doesn’t describe any treatments leading up to this. Surprised she could find a surgeon to perform a bka for crps. Had djd and fibro prior to the accident. Extreme and not standard of care.
