Andrew would suffer severe bruising and ulcers on his leg if it was even slightly touched, with dressings to cover up the wounds causing further damage to the skin.
A dad who almost took his own life due to the excruciating pain he faced daily, watched doctors amputate his leg in a bid to be free of the "Suicide Disease" that he suffered from for years.
Andrew was even fired from his job after his manager complained he was too slow in making it down the stairs during an office fire drill. He was later awarded £30,000 compensation after filing a successful discrimination claim. "I had deep bruising from my thigh to my foot and it just got progressively worse day by day, the bruising and the ulcers were like torture.
"It's called the suicide disease and I had been down that route three or four times, especially towards the end. In an effort to prevent this, Andrew opted to stay awake during the surgery and watch his leg being amputated. He said after the epidural went in, he knew immediately that he had made the right decision."It was the first time I had been pain-free in three and a half years. From that day I haven't felt any more pain."
