I wear a BK prosthesis provided by the V.A.(damn them) that
is causing lots of pain behind the knee. EAch adjustment my
VA prostheticist does only makes it worse.
Any help in alleviating this pain would be greatly
appreciated.

I had the same problem, for me I had 2 issues causing pain behind the knee.
1st problem fixed by cutting away and flaring the socket behind the knee
area. The pain was worse when I sat in a chair (knee at 90 degrees). The
second problem is while breaking in a new liner, no fix, I had to suck it up
for a few weeks until broke in.

I am having problems with VA also, if you can deal with them the price is
right. I am going back to Tricare, less hassle.

Hope this helps.

Guys which VA Hospital are you going to?

Because the VA in Houston is going to provide mine.
