I have the same problem when I've worn my sleeve too long and I've sweated in it. I've found that keeping my sleeve and stump really clean helps.

I have noticed this last summer when the weather was hot and a couple of times while riding the bike at the gym and my limb is sweating. I will take the liner off and wipe it and my leg down.
I also wear an Alpha Liner so maybe this has something to do with the liner itself.

I wash and dry my sleeve and limb 3 times daily. I do wear it 24 hours except for these times and I dont perspire hardly any, NEVER!!! Really, even in 120 degree weather!!! I guess I am lucky for that. Glad to know others have had this problem, but I am VERY clean with my limb and liner, so thats not the problem. Thanks for the responses. Love to all.

I HAVE A URETHANE LINER & IT GETS SWEATY SOMETIMES, BUT I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THIS. LOVED THE WAY YOU NARRARATED YOUR STORY THOUGH TORRY. VERY CLEVER. LOL!

when i sweat it does it. i have four liners. i have found that if i keep them good and clean when one starts to do it i change it out.

Do you all sleep with your stump sleeve or sleep with a bare stump?

bare stump la1

some times with a shrinker la1

I sleep with a stump sock on.My stump gets cold easily if I don't wear a sock.I haven't worn a shrinker in years.

I haven't experienced the tooting sleeve myself.lol I am still on my first leg though so one never knows what can happen.
I sleep bare finally. It took about 3 months until I didn't have to wear a shrinker. I hated wearing that thing. Mine was a nylon and very tight. It did work though and was needed.

And by sleeping bare I mean my stump. hehe It's too cold for no jammies. brrrr

I have the fortunate ability not to sweat hardly at all, ever, even in our 100 plus degree weather here in Houston. However I do get a little "clammy" on my limb where the liner is, but just barely, like after you wash and dry your hands, just the slightest dampness. I remove and wash and air out my limb twice daily, since I wear it even to sleep, almost 24 hours a day, except when washing and airing. I think the looser sleeve is the main culprit, it is very loose. I really need to start wearing the snugger sleeve, but it is sooo hard to get on with my back problems, but it fits very well, perfect, in fact. Thanks for the comments; its nice to know I am not the only one!! Love to all.

Timothy, I sleep with my leg on, beleive it or not. I am paranoid of fire. I would never get out if I had t don the sleeve and leg in smoke, and I cant hop even with a walker, soooo. So far, no real problems doing this, and I find that it feels more like my old leg, a real part of me. I also did not do anything to discourage phantom pain, tapping on the end, rubbing, etc. It seemed dumb to train the limb to feel like it was gone and then put a leg on it to get used to all over again. I took to my leg right away just like it was always there. I think I am going to write a paper or something on my "experiment" and theory about this. I have seen millions of articles on getting rid of phantom pain, but never one about embraceing it, and getting a better result adapting to the new leg. It really worked for me. Love to all.
