I’m familiar with limb lengthening but any possibility of adding length to a below knee amputation with very little residual?

Welcome to the club. Had 2 (same lung 2 years apart). This definitely sucks but hopefully you only have to hear that the corrective surgery is a lot more painful and you don't have to deal with this stuff anymore. How did you manage 5 days without feeling the need to go to the hospital?

Hope you're feeling better.

Short answer is no, probably not. Unless you have an extra $20-50k just laying around and I'm giving a ball-park estimate based on my C-leg from Ottobock.

Fortunately, it was covered by Automobile accident insurance. When it dies, I'll be taking a hit out of pocket for the next one.

I was the opposite in that 1st happened at night and walked all over campus the next day and knew something wasn't right. 2nd time walking home 2 miles on the hottest day of summer.

From what I was told, It's common with skinny guys in their teens but not as frequent into the 30's.

The worst part was when I went back to the airport, the head geologist came and sat beside me and started to chat about the project we were working on. Longest paranoid 30 minutes I have ever had to endure!
