An 18-year-old woman on track to become one of Englands best in karate had to put her dreams on hold after surgery for an ingrown toenail caused a rare disease that may force her to have her leg amputated. Hannah Moore, of Stalbridge in Dorset, told Western Daily Press that she believes amputation will be the only way for her to get her life back.
Moore, a black belt in Washinkai karate, underwent surgery two years ago to address the problem with a toenail on her right foot. She then developed a condition called complex regional pain syndrome that requires her to take 40 pills per day, Western Daily Press reported.
I had never heard of this syndrome before I got it but it can affect anyone, Moore told the news site.
