Walking downhill.Posted by Quentin Huxley on December 16, 19102 at 06:06:10:
Hi all from Sydney, Australia. I lost my leg AK to cancer in 1997. I am 40 years of age and I still have a lot of trouble walking, especially downhill. I have a hydraulic knee which helps me a lot but walking for me is a major bugbear. I get a hell of a lot of pain and I also get huge welts. I often go through the why me blues but If I could only walk I would be a lot happier. Does anyone have any secrets that they can pass on to me? My future feels bleak at the moment and I know that there are people who are a lot worse off than me. I do try and be positive but I get on a downer and I can't snap out of it. I used to play golf and tennis but that is all over for the time being. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
