A young woman who was left in agony after a freak accident in the street finally asked doctors to AMPUTATE her leg to end the pain.
Victoria Snell told how she was strolling home from the cinema and suddenly felt pain, before hearing a bone ‘audibly snap’.
She says the stress fracture she suffered refused to heal properly and she has been in and out of hospital for the last six years.
Victoria, now 26 and living in Manchester, had four operations in total, with metal plates installed and several bone grafts - but nothing seemed to work.
As she awaited a fifth operation - to have a cage fitted around her leg - Victoria decided enough was enough - and told the doctors to take her leg off.

Re: Young woman asked doctors to AMPUTATE
She has spoken of the ‘horrible but easy’ decision.
Victoria, who is from Plymouth but has since moved to the North West, said: “In the end it was a horrible decision but an easy one. I knew my leg wasn’t getting me anywhere and I knew with prosthetics I could have a better life than my actual leg could give me.”

Victoria, who works in customer services, was 20 at the time of the break and said she didn’t fall, trip or in any way suffer an impact - but her leg just snapped as she walked.

She said: “I thought I had sprained my ankle, I’m a bit clumsy, I walk into stuff a lot. I had been to the cinema in Plymouth and every ten steps it was getting more and more painful.

“Eventually I heard it snap very audibly. My friend who was with me did too, she said, ‘what was that’?
“I said, ‘I think it was my leg’.”
Victoria was rushed to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth where she was patched up and had her leg coated in plaster.
“I was in hospital for about a week,” she continued.
“They did a bunch of tests because your average 20-year-old doesn’t break a leg walking down the street. Thankfully they all came back okay, it’s just my bones are a bit rubbish.”
It was another two years before she would be on the operating table, in January 2013.
First, she had a bone graft and a metal plate installed but the pain continued.
Her doctors then checked her over and realised her right leg was about an inch shorter than the other. On June 2015, Victoria had a taylor spatial frame put on but again the leg wouldn’t heal.
