Way to go Lady! I’m an above knee amputee and also went through seven years of severe pain, more than 30 surgeries and people thinking I was insane to choose amputation. My life has been so much better since and it’s amazing to not have pain anymore. Just a quick caution from a fellow amp though... I noticed in the video when you took your liner off you have a big purple blotch in the bottom of your stump. Please keep in mind that’s caused by a poor fitting socket/liner and usually indicates pistoning (your residual limb moving up and down within the liner/socket causing suction changes and, essentially, a giant hicky). This is bad for skin, circulation and can cause pain and blisters. If this is still happening please talk to your prosthetics team and get them to sort it. If they are of the “being an amputee means some degree of pain/discomfort so get used to it and suck it up” camp PLEASE find a new team ASAP as a properly fitted socket will never hurt or cause skin irritation or discolouration suck as I saw in this video.
So happy for you that your life is continuing along the path you want. Stay strong and you have every reason to be proud!
That's why I respect woman anymore,😊😊and to all woman have these kind of sacrifice. 😭😭" Be strong"💪💪
I hate that accident happened and surgery wasn’t successful but she came up with her own solution! So incredible! ❤️ Best of luck to her!
Aiden Brooke thank you aiden!
Lex is an amazing person! I’m glad I was able to participate in this!
What an awesome story!! Good luck with the rest of your journey x
Sometimes difficult choices need to be made. Good for you on changing your destiny. I broke my ankle in 1991 due to stepping in a rutt. I had at least 1 surgery per year trying to fix it but nothing ever helped. I had my ankle fused at one point then about a year later they removed all the pins thinking the pain was caused by that....nope. Finally in 1999 I decided I'd had enough pain and pills so I had them remove it. Scary choice but I figured ANYTHING has got to be better than this constant pain. This many years on and I have very little trouble with my LBKA. The rest of me...not so hot but hey....at least I can still get around. No regrets.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m nearly 5 years into life with debilitating CRPS following an accident in which I shattered my heel and required several surgeries after the first was botched. Despite having both a Spinal Cord Stimulator and DRG implanted to help with pain, things are only getting worse. My orthopedic surgeon wants me to come in next month to discuss amputation, although mine would likely not work since my CRPS has already spread to much of my body. Wishing her all the best
Hi i just saw this. There are a few peripheral nerve surgeons in the US, one of them lives an hour away from me. He has had CRPS success stories. May be worth looking into before making that decision. Look up Healing Hands of Nebraska, Dr Aguila. Also has videos here on TH-cam. :)
@@rachellea.3728 thank you so much for responding. I’m blessed to say that my foot and ankle surgeon up at Hershey Med who did my final foot reconstruction has also completed successful amputations on CRPS patients. I am having a trans-tibial amputation on Friday (3/18). Thankfully, the Chronic Pain Community has been so supportive and I have 100% trust in my surgical team
@@thewilltowalk6651 May I ask who your doctor is? I have CRPS/vascular issues is one of my feet and honestly considering it down the road, but understand it can be hard to find a doctor to agree on it. Thank you
A drunk driver took my leg, so i didn't have a decision in the loss of my leg (BKA) but welcome to the club!!
Mr. Quinlan I’m so sorry to hear that! Are you doing well though? I am a lot happier! No pain.
Amputation is not a punishment it usually is done to make your life better.. 🍀
Thank you Miss. Bader.
IN 2004 my left knee was damaged in a fall. My right knee was already damaged. Before that I used to roller skate 5 times a week, or go cycling or dancing. Because of the bigoted company I worked for I was eventually fired and lost my health insurance. The ensuing complications made my diabetes much worse, caused a cascade of other health issues that I can't afford to resolve. If all that could have been avoided by cutting off my leg, I would have done it in a heartbeat. You made a great decision to get on with your life.
Wow she is so bold, resilient, brilliant and driven. Her perseverance is inspiring I wish her the vey best in life💋❤️🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Renee Smith thank you so much!
Didn’t footless jo do this first!
john fecteau I don’t think it matters who did it first... I had my surgery two months ago. I have no idea when she had hers done.
john fecteau it’s not a competition.
john fecteau many many people have elective amputations. Mostly to move on.
just be glad there's people like Jo and Alexis that can spread awareness and be a support group for one another. That being in chronic pain your whole life isn't your only answer. Jo is 1 year past her first amputation and a few months past her "re=amputation" where she had to have part of it taken off some more sicne the first surgery messed up.
I admire both of their strength- its amazing what they can do
Jo and Alexis should be friends, no competition.
Beauty is more than an external view.. Your real beauty.... is the soul of you.
Well i was going to say your CRAZY but you choose the right choice
I've had CRPS since I was a toddler. My feet have always been on fire even laying with my feet flat on my matress makes it burn. Hurts most when I'm still. It actually burns rn
...you are such an example of resilience...
Thank you for not saying the "I" word! Opps, 2 seconds later, "such an inspiration..." Spoke to soon. Lol. Nice piece otherwise! Can't wait to see you at nationals! Or if you come back and visit!
Per chance she can still get a leg up on her competition. Cheers!
I do nt not heave a leg too
And I'm also proud of it
Cuz im alive
Passe throught a lot of thind until i my amputation
The only beauty that matters the most is the beauty within. I am 10 months post bunionectomy and have been in pain ever since. I am at my wits end of whether or not to keep my foot. The pain and swelling is just dragging me down. I am almost becoming an addict because of the narcotics that I am having to take just to get rid of the pain
🌹🌹 Hello my name is Richard, I do dialysis and last year my toes went black, I had a operation and removed all my toes, I made a full recovery and I am walking again, Just want to let u know your not alone, Good luck cutie 🥰🥰
Maybe she can get in touch with Hugh Herr for a bionic leg.
god bless you you go girl you've got this
Beautiful woman! Thanks for sharing.
Coincidental.....Check a certain Douglas Bader!
Go Lexi!
Are. So strong❤️
it was too save my live a first was below the knee then above then again too make it right one Year ago am only 29 i think about my future more than being an amputee i think below is not that bad like above still have to do your thing a the end of the day stay strong
that is not a choice! the choice was made for her
Bravo Lexi
That’s a foot amputation not a leg
❤❤❤❤
Ve been dealing with what remains of a leg after 3 brutal motorcycle accidents first one in 1992. Despite my pleas no one will remove it I keep getting surgeons with fanciful ideas of cutting muscle out of my right leg and transplanting it n my left and cutting arteries out of other parts of my body and also transplanting them to create more blood flow. They want to do everything but what I ask them to do which is to take my pain away.
Who did you go to, I need someone who listens.
Have you thought about bringing along a close friend who can advocate on your behalf. I am going through the same situation with doctors who just don't give a crap. But once I started bringing close friends to advocate for me the doctors certainly listen

My doctor helped me find a surgeon who was sympathetic to my plight and I’ll be under the knife on August 7th. I knew I found the right surgeon when I mentioned to him that I was trans and that I understand he’s going to probably want a psychological evaluation to determine in order to prove that I’m not experiencing body dysmorphia; a Psychological condition that dries otherwise healthy people to amputate otherwise healthy limbs, He looked at his chart and said that wouldn’t me necessary. For once someone understood that body dysmorphia has nothing at all to do with gender dysphoria. He especially didn’t have any problems with it when I told him that I’ve been living like this since I’ve been 16 years old; I’m 44 now, And while I should have amputated this leg years ago I just wasn’t ready to admit defeat.
Now my biggest problem is SSDI/SSI is jerking me around, they are telling me that I have to wait six months after the surgery to possibly get benefits. They told me that most people with amputations return to work to which my response was I’m a motorcycle mechanic how am I supposed to return to work when I can’t shift a motorcycle without a left leg. I can’t convert a customers motorcycle with an electronic shifter just so I can take it for a test ride. I’ve been a tech for 19 years my career is over.
Everyone I know that had an amputation got SSDI/SSI but they all were approved before Trump.
@@entropicgirl8648 That is so awesome. It will be a relief to be pain free
Annette Melnychuk
I’m thanks here’s hoping for the best. 🤞🏻
@@entropicgirl8648 You are welcome
Poor girl
NO!! Not "poor girl". Strong, determined, resilient, and courageous young woman. All that she has lost is pain. All that is over is debilitation. She has begun life again.
Max Lever Still, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. She lost more than the pain tbf.
I’m not in pain anymore. Almost 6 months since my amputation and I’m snowboarding, climbing, running, runway walking, swimming. I’m doing everything I did before pain free!
@@alexisbader1834 Miss. Bader, To hear that you are pain free and getting on with life blesses me today. There is hope for my son. Thank you. And blessings to you and yours as well.
1:33 what's that device called?
Iwalk lol
I even went hiking with this bad bitch. (Hard as hell, wouldn’t recommend)
Buchenwald?
To bad it wasn’t both thighs. Then she could stump drum.
Fool. The pain would eventually go away! And better with pain than without a leg!
Uh no it doesn't. Crps is a life long condition, the pain gets worse not better. Crps is considered the most painful condition known to medicine. She already had it for 7 years before going down the route of amputation. It can also spread, some people end up with it full body and then there's nothing that can be done.
@@georgiamackinlay5706 You can always take strong painkillers.
So skinny
Stfu
Always have been 🤷🏼♀️
So beautiful
What a privilege to be able to not work out and lay in bed for 7 years and still be thin!
A privilege? With all her suffering? There are way more important things in life than being thin, and I sure bet she wasn't just "laying in bed" for all those years. I think you should look a little more closely at your priorities here.
And I think you should shut up
