Imagine being in so much pain over such a long period of time that you would rather have a limb amputated than carry on living as you are. 22-year-old Helena Stone from Islington developed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome after spraining her knee in a kayaking accident. Helen spoke to Eddie Nestor last year about the accident and returned to give an update.
