'Getting leg cut off was best decision I made'

Paralympic star Richard Browne says it was the best decision he ever made to get his leg cut off.

The American endured 13 surgeries and a three-year battle to save his leg before telling the doctors they had to amputate back in 2010.

"One Monday afternoon - it was February 9th - I called my doctor and told him I couldn't deal with the pain anymore," recalls Browne.
