The 3 Types of Amputee Pain: #3 - Extrinsic

This is the third episode in a series of weekly videos that I'm releasing in an effort to help and educate amputees as well as the general public about certain amputation and prosthetic fitting-related topics. I've seen numerous questions posted online, on social media and in forums; and while I do my best to respond to as many as I can, my hope is that these videos will reach those who are looking for guidance. As an amputee, your prosthetist should be your go-to. You should have a prosthetist who is completely honest with you, looks out for your best interest, encourages and accepts all questions and discussions from you, and takes the time to educate you. Even if you are not my patient, I am available to answer any questions you may have. You may post them in the comments, send me an email by going to www.stokosaclinic.com/jan-stokosa, or call my office at 517-349-3130. If you are interested in a becoming a patient, I am accepting new patients at this time as well. My clinic is located in Okemos, MI but we see patients from across the country. With over 45 years of experience developing unique & successful fitting processes leading to the most stable, comfortable, and functional prostheses, I share my knowledge and approach with the hope that it will help lead amputees in the right direction so they can find the best prosthetist for them, and have the most fulfilling lives possible.
