Calling AMPUTEES for help?

You don't state why the amputation. Is it for circulatory reasons? If it is for any circulation reasons please seek medical attention as soon as possible. If it is not then keep the wound dry and let it heal. My concern is what is causing the irritation of tissue. When was the last time the socket was evaluated? Seeing a physical therapist for care might not be a bad idea. The use of a whirlpool with a medicated soap would hasten the healing process and allow an earlier return to the use of the prosthesis. I also hope that it is not an open wound over the distal tibia. That would also concern me for the possibility of an infection into the bone. Make sure the area is dry and are you pressure wrapping?
