hiya thanks for the replys, im going in limb c next week, it happens more when im walking and there is a thud with knee and heel strike, so i hope it gets sorted for me . Paul

Hiya i wouldnt say pin & needles but there is a sensation in me socket , but i have lost alot of weight and was casted for that reason being my old iceross was a size 34 and now im in a 26.5 size soo the old leg there was alot of movement going on even with socks , and now im wondering its becoz im that snug now with it being suction socket . and i need time get into it .

Hiya Ann yes very weird feeling the numbness, Ive never had this before they have swapped me foot to a softer heel from me old one soo i thought overall it would be alot better walking through and all but i dont feel it , When i start out to walk its fine and as times goes on then the numbness starts there is no red spots when i remove me iceross so cant be pushing on one spot but when i take me leg of at night now it aches like mad . Im going to phone My Limb centre to make appointment go in. Paul

hiya dont post much , but been casted for new socket and picked the leg up , its quite comfy ish well i feel all through me stump which makes it numb when walking , anyone ever had this ?

Hello Heather welcome to the Forum, I hope you get plenty of suport here and advice. things at first will seem strange ignore the stares the time will come when u wear the leg all day and they will be none the wiser lol. keep plodding away it will all come together in the end x Im not far from you Im Middlewich small world eh, nice to meet you . paul

Merry Christmas Everybody and happy New year Paul

Hiya , I think we all get a dent in are pride when we fall over and most or sum have got up and forgot there leg is missing, i fall alot after lager lol paul

Hiya all, I am getting to think the suction is good just by the overall feel, the leg doesnt seem to hang of the stump like it does with the pin that heavy feel u get after having it on for so long, I ony have one ring onmine and i use hand cream to put mine on lynne .By the way u all talking there not good for the sitting part then... Ive had it on for the last 2 days anyway soo ill keep giving it ago, it feels lighter to when i lift me leg to get in the car. tc alll Paul

Hello Just started reading this on suction sockets, i was always been in the iceross and pin system but got lots of movement in there elg moving around sores and that, so they have casted me and put me with one of these sction sockets http://www.ossur.co.uk/prosthetics/liners/...s-Seal-In-(HSM), can any body else say anything about this type of socket.
