[AMP-L] Anyone else affected by this?

[Susan Henderson]

Hello Everyone,

I'm a BK and wore a pin suspension system for about six (maybe more)  
years, and during the last three years I had that leg I had a lot of  
trouble and pain.  In the end, the pin suspension and my dawdling to  
get a better fitting leg caused verrucose hyperplasia, which wasn't  
pretty.  Once I got a total contact socket (I use a gel liner) the  
condition improved and the pain went away.

Mary Lou -- I use San Francisco Prosthetic and Orthotic -- Wayne  
Koniuk.  San Francisco is beautiful this time of year and Wayne is a  
great prosthetist.

It seems any other kind of suspension besides the pin is becoming a  
lost art. Lou
