Took my first steps yesterday
Wow! I took my first steps yesterday with my leg. It was so weird and scary. You all know that I've been in my chair since May. I only had it on for about 10 minutes and I couldn't believe how winded I got just taking a few steps out my front door then back to my chair. My back started hurting immedicately, too. Anyone out there have back pain when they first walked?

well ive had my prosthetic legs since i was 2years old. ive been through alot of different prosthesis. i remember getting some back pain yes. sometimes itll go away and sometimes itll stay. for me i have back pain often. i hope it goes away for you. im so happy for you taking your first steps, thats great!
Congrats to you! I still haven\'t been able to get up on my leg... I developed a strange rash when I wear my sheath and now its all the way around my leg and up it to my thigh. I\'m bummed. They say I am allergic to the material the sheath is made of and don\'t know what to do about it. i have been in my chair since last September....
