I had my talus crushed in a car accident. A fusion was the best surgery I had. I to thought about amputation due to pain before my fusion. It still hurts but it is manageable. I am also a nurse so I know an amputation comes with pain for the rest of your life also. I hope this helps you. By the way for anyone else looking, rocker bottom shoes have been my savior for walking with a fairly normal gait. (they are hard to find cute ones) My physical therapy and Dr. friends have complemented me several times in the last 2 weeks and I feel better and I can run a little. Still with pain and its awkward. I have not done ran in 4 years. But at least I know if my life was threatened I could run away.
