[AMP-L] Innovative Pain Management : Technology Helps Amputees Live Without Debilitating Pain

[Wayne Renardson]

Michael Cassano suffered from chronic pain in his right leg for 5 
years after a work-related accident that caused massive damage to his 
leg. After years of intense pain, recurring infections and multiple, 
limb-salvaging surgeries, Cassano's orthopedic surgeon suggested 
amputation to end the pain. But that did not happen; the pain, though 
different, was just as intense as it was before the amputation. 
Cassano suffered from residual limb pain, a condition which occurs in 
up to 74% of amputees according to an August 2000 article in the 
Archives of Physical Medicine. The pain was so debilitating that, at 
best, he was functioning at 35% of normal capacity.

Cassano's problem with pain continued for an additional 5 years until 
he was introduced to the Wearable Therapy Pain Management System. The 
decade of pain for Cassano came to an abrupt and heavily-sought 
conclusion in just under 30 days of use. Six months later, Cassano is 
pain-free and back to 100%. "I can't believe it," explains Cassano. 
"I lost 10 years of my life to pain and now I'm pain free. I tried 
everything to get rid of the pain, but nothing seemed to help. I was 
very depressed over it. I use Wearable Therapy every day to ensure 
the pain stays away. My prosthesis fits much better than it ever has, 
and my leg muscles are amazingly strong."
