hey everyone. I am 11/2 yr rbtk amp. still kinda new at all of this.
They started me out with a suction prosthesis after my 8th surgery,
which we tried for months to fit after I healed but my tibia calloused
and kept growing and they had to do a revision, so the suction
prosthesis I never really got to wear too much but I did notice- easy
on and off--sweaty--alot of knee pressure, but never even got to put
all my weight on it. Now they want to use the pinlock ive worn a few
times they are finishing up on it. They are putting a flex ??spring
foot on it??? but, the bone on my tibia is coming out again??? The
pinlock is very sweaty, harder to come off, alot more pressure on the
tibia instead of the knee area so therefore I have to wear padding
socks. It will be finished for me on wednesday to start trying
out,still dont know if i will ever be able to be full wgt. bearing or
not but will see-- let you know how it turns out.....
