I have come across an article…

A heart condition meant Ryan required a transplant at 18, however after suffering a cardiac arrest just a few days later, lack of blood flow to his legs caused his calf muscles to die and he needed amputation of both legs. Ryan was fitted with prosthetic limbs but walking with these new legs became too painful and he had to stop. He was then fitted with a spinal cord simulator which sends small electrical impulses to his spinal cord and blocks pain signals travelling back to his brain. Since this device was fitted Ryan says his life has changed. He is able to walk again and even enjoys nights out with his brother and friends 🙂
