I've used Farabloc and found it to an excellant product. I'm a left shoulder disartic + a left hip disartic as a result of a motorcycle accident. Unfortunately I suffer terrible phantom pain and started to use farabloc while I was in rehab. It gave great results at the time. As time as passed I usually get a bought of phantom pain every 3 months that puts me totally out of commission for 3 days or more. I've found that if I wrap my hip area with the farabloc it definately helps. I'm not wearing my prosthetic leg presently due to a weight issue but I had them line my original socket with farabloc and my phantom pain quickly became a none issue. I will definately have my next socket lined with it again, and just wouldn't chance having a socket built that wasn't lined with faraboc. As you can tell I'm 100% sold on the product. It definately worked in my case.
