I don't suffer from phantom limb pain, but none the less, it is very interesting. Hopefully someone will benefit from it! Thanks for posting it.

Do you think this explains why I find it 'disconcerting' when a prosthetist cuts open my cosmesis with a knife, whilst I'm wearing the limb? (I'm not being funny, either  ) |

Oh my word, Lizzie...that's a horrifying thought! It SHOULDN'T be, I know...but just visualizing it makes me cringe!
I've seen my cosmesis in several stages of "construction," and of course I've seen my leg without the cosmesis, and all of that is just fine with me. It's pretty interesting, in fact. But the idea of having a portion of my leg "cut away" in front of me is...well...creepy!
I wouldn't blame you for feeling disconcerted!

Hi Lizzie. I don't wear a cosmetic covering but none the less, I can see why it would bother you. I think it would be strange to watch and I think that it would bother me too.
