Emotional pain that goes along with the “loss” of a body part or loss of function, can also lead to severe depression.
Fatigue is often a side effect of the neuropathy and pain meds they are taking. As you well know the long list of side effects of pain meds.
Not trying to compare apples and oranges, was more of appreciating importance of perspective/state of mind and positivity.

I wore a metal and plastic brace for a year after I broke my back. That damn thing literally wore holes in my skin. I remember feeling very defeated because I had no choice but to get through it. I could not walk or stand without it.
I still have the scars. Who ever invented that should be kicked square in the ballsack.
