Dear List members
I have a below knee amputee, has been using prosthesis for five years.
Patient has volume fluctuations, as well as neuroma. Gets pain on
calf area ( like spasm) , even when he is sitting.
I have tried using harmony system, did help his volumetric problem,
BUT STILL GETS PAIN IN THE CALF AREA ON WALKING AND SOME TIMES IN
SITTING.
There is tender area at lateral distal, under the scar, which on
palpation gives a shooting pain. Patient says that he feels pain in
the absent foot (on palpating that area.
Would highly appreciate your suggestions
