Amputation due to neurological conditions - what’s your experience.

I’ve struggled with PHN (post herpetic neuralgia) chronic pain for nearly 20 years. I’ve enquired about potential amputation for years now. Luckily (eye roll), it mostly affects my non dominant hand/arm. I’m curious if anyone has had this experience in their amputation.

I’ve been told by doctors that it’s not a reasonable request, because it may not work at all, or it may get worse. All I find when I search online is medical articles. I’m curious to hear from an actual person who has had an amputation due to similar conditions (crps, phn, etc)

I’m hoping to push for it, as it’s my last resort. The pain is unmanageable. I’m almost at the peak meds allowed.
Please be patient with me. I’m in a desperate position, and asking in sincerity.
