I am still on training prosthetics. MY CP is very patient and will not finalise it until I am absolutely comfortable.

have had issues with sweating of the residual limb, maintenance of suction, abrasions on leg where socket comes in contact with skin, but have generally been able to deal with these issues. Chronic, continuing numbness/burning in the limb 7 months post amputation is still a problem for me.
