We report a patient who presented with calf metastases from a squamous cell carcinoma of lung. Attempts were made to control his pain conservatively for almost 2 years before he was referred for a below-knee amputation. He did well following this and was able to stop the majority of his analgesic drugs. %U https://spcare.bmj.com/content/bmjspcare/early/2018/02/01/bmjspcare-2018-001491.full.pdf
