A man who almost took his own life due to the extreme pain he was in every day, watched his own leg being chopped off in a bid to be free of the "Suicide Disease" which tortured him for years.
Andrew Lawton was rushing to buy Valentine’s Day gifts back in 2019 when his knee buckled underneath him. At first, he didn’t think much of it, but his life changed forever.
The slightest touch of his leg would result in severe bruising and ulcers; even a dressing to cover up a wound would cause the skin surrounding it to die.
