I am a bilateral amputee of less than 2 years. Am 58 years old and on second set of prosthetics. Does everyone else have problems with the fit?? I never know when I put them on if they are going to hurt like crazy or not...seems they just don't fit right, ever!! These are vacuum, with a long sleeve that fits to top of hip...nice for FL, huh?? I have my natural knees, so they are primarily from the knee down. I just feel I picked the wrong prosthesis or wrong place to have them made...can someone let me know what kinds are out there, that are comfortable? These also have "shocks" which were supposed to help, but, don't seem to.
