I had an above amp about 5 weeks ago. I have been walking on a leg for 4 days. I have a silicon liner and a suction socket. I seem to be getting a lot of yellow/amber fluid in my liner and some redness. I have been wearing my prosthesis up to 12 hours a day, but the fluid is present after only 1 hour. I dry my stump off every few hours, but the fluid keeps coming back. Is this a problem? will it eventually stop? My prosthetist said some sweating is to be expected, but this doesn't look like to sweat. Thanks for any input. Herb Rice
