Irish Actress Ruth Codd Braces for Life After Double Amputation
Actress and social media personality Ruth Codd has revealed that she is recovering from her second leg amputation, just six years after undergoing the same operation. The 29-year-old, known for her disability advocacy and comedic content on TikTok, was forced to undergo the procedure due to complications stemming from a football injury as a teenager.
Codd shared an emotional video on TikTok announcing her latest surgery, stating that she had now had the second amputation on her left leg. The actress joked about her new wheelchair, nicknamed "Fat Tony," and expressed gratitude for having made it through another round of treatments.
According to Codd, her decision to have a prosthetic fitted will be delayed by at least a month due to the healing process required after each surgery. The 29-year-old has spoken publicly about the challenges she faces as a result of her condition, including chronic pain and limited mobility.
Codd's experience with amputation highlights the ongoing struggles faced by individuals with disabilities in Ireland, where access to adequate healthcare and support services remains a pressing concern. Despite these setbacks, Codd continues to build a large following on social media, using her platform to raise awareness about disability issues and promote positive representation of people with disabilities.
The actress has also spoken candidly about the emotional toll of living with chronic pain, stating that it made it "more difficult" for her to work and perform. Her openness about her experiences serves as a powerful reminder of the need for greater understanding and empathy towards individuals with disabilities.

she's been through so much already 
six years is ages to be going through this again, it must be mental for her 
I feel like people dont really understand what its like living with chronic pain and limited mobility, it must be really frustrating and isolating at times 
but at the same time I love how she's using her platform to raise awareness about disability issues and promote positive representation of people with disabilities 
it's so inspiring to see her keep going despite all the setbacks 
and the healing process is already slowing down her prosthetic plans 
what can we do to help? we need better access to healthcare and support services for people like ruth who are struggling 
. Anyway, I'm sending Ruth all my positive vibes and hoping her new prosthetic helps her get back on track 
"Fat Tony" her new wheelchair is giving me LIFE 
. Seriously though, chronic pain and limited mobility are no joke 
.
. It's time for us to step up our game and support people like Ruth who are breaking barriers every day 
. Can we all just give her a round of applause and some serious love 
?
It's supposed to be about equality and accessibility, not a joke. But at the same time, I love that she's using her platform to raise awareness and break stigmas around disability. We need more people like her who aren't afraid to speak up and share their experiences. Maybe instead of focusing on the challenges, we should focus on solutions? 
It's disheartening to see Ruth Codd go through this again, just six years after having her first leg amputation. The emotional toll of chronic pain is no joke, and it's concerning that she had to wait another month to get fitted for a prosthetic due to the healing process 
.
. But seriously, it got me thinking, how do you balance work and self-care when you're living with chronic pain? I mean, Ruth Codd is doing her best to raise awareness about disability issues, but it's not always easy, right? Maybe we can learn a thing or two from her about prioritizing our own well-being 
.
she was supposed to get fitted for a prosthetic like 3 months ago already... I hope she's doing okay though, those surgeries can't be fun 
. It just goes to show how rare it is to have good access to healthcare in Ireland 
.
.
instead of sharing the hard stuff? 
. has anyone else had to deal with that kinda thing?
