It definitely can be! It was worse when I first got the limb, but you figure out ways to deal with it, it's just background noise. I've found that if I scratch my prosthesis, it disappears - it tricks my brain into thinking it's gone!

Yes I do - ranging from itches to electric shock-like pain - these were quite bad immediately after I lost my leg but have faded since.

It's strange and sometimes quite painful but you get used to it. I have been lucky as I know some people suffer with it a lot more.

Do you mean like Ironman? If so, that would be brilliant! The laws of physics mean that would technically be possible, however, economics wouldn't allow it.

One thing I would love to do one day is build a model jet engine

Thanks! Firstly, I walk through...

them come the beeps and my eye-rolling...

then come the swabs and further scanning. I've only ever had to actually remove it twice - once in Dubai and once in Germany.

I'm lucky in that I had great family support, I met lots of new people - other patients that I learnt to walk with, the physios that taught me to walk again. When I returned to college and went to University, I've always had positive experiences.

The opportunities that I have now may never have come to me had I not lost my leg.
