A mother-of-two who was electrocuted whilst plugging in her laptop has undergone lifesaving surgery to amputate half of her arm after suffering pain similar to 'soaking in boiling hot oil'.
Jue Snell, 40, says her hand became 'stuck' to the faulty plug socket and caused a severe electric shock through her body as she tried to plug in the device.
She spent one day in hospital as doctors thought she could have a heart attack, before suffering Complex Regional Pain Syndrome for around 12 months.
The condition causes persistent severe and debilitating pain and led her to surgery in a desperate bid to 'restart' her life.

Re: Jue Snell arm amputated
After 12 months of hospital appointments, her condition worsened and the former performance manager says she began to develop a fever and began vomiting.
The model from Northwich, Cheshire, had broken skin on her hand that contracted a serious bacterial infection which led to sepsis.
Medics had no choice but to amputate her lower left arm in an attempt to save her life.
Jue described the pain 'like intense pins and needles' which caused her to vomit straight after plugging in her laptop.
The model said: 'I was kept in hospital for a day for checks as doctors were concerned in case I had a heart attack - thankfully I didn't.'

Re: Jue Snell arm amputated
Prior to the amputation, Jue became housebound, lost her independence and was unable to fulfill her job as a performance manager.
The 'reality' of being an amputee made her feel as though she had 'lost' her identity.
She added: 'I suffered with post-traumatic stress disorder and felt as though my body was shutting down when I was stressed - almost every situation caused me to have panic attacks.'
She counts Mike and her children Holly, 17 and Ella-boo, seven, as the blessings which kept her going.

Re: Jue Snell arm amputated
Now five years on, Jue is the cover girl of Models of Diversity - a modelling agency that specialises in disabled models - 2020 calendar and a motivational speaker and coach.
The model has been given a new lease of life, describing the shoot as 'incredible' and leaving her feel 'empowered', showing other women that they do not need to fit into a perfect box.
Once people with disabilities are in the right mind set, they can do anything, according to Jue who visits universities and businesses to discuss what it's like to be an amputee.
'Dealing with a disability isn't something that can be fixed - It is ongoing and it affects you every single day.'
Angel Sinclair, the founder of MoD said: 'She has taken a terrible situation and is using it to inspire, motivate and challenge!
'She is not only undoubtedly beautiful on the outside, but the inside too and that is why she was our cover girl.'
