Hi I'm Tom, one year since my above knee right leg amputation, despite several visits to my prosthetic centre, I'm still struggling with socket fit, and stump pain,

Anyone got any tips or suggestions?

    Socket issues are incredibly frustrating. If you're consistently in pain, don't hesitate to ask for a second opinion or a different prosthetist at the center - sometimes a fresh pair of eyes makes all the difference. Wishing you some relief soon
