A member asked:
Will my prosthetic irritate my stump? i'm concerned about sensitivity at the end of my stump. is it possible that my prosthetic will irritate it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: A well made prosthesis will take into account sensitive areas of the stump and accommodate them so there is not too much pressure in one area or the other. A good prosthetist ( the person that fabricates the prosthesis) is key.
