Hi all from Sydney, Australia. I am an above knee amputee. I lost my right leg to cancer in 1997 and I was wondering if any of you had any tips on the correct way to walk down hill? I have a hydraulic knee which helps me but my walking is attrocious. It gets me down and at the moment I feel my future looks bleak. I know that there are a lot of people who are worse off than me but I'm often singing that tune, the "why me blues" I used to enjoy tennis and golf but that is a distant memory now. I am 40 years of age and I still get a lot of pain and discomfort. I also get huge welts which I treat with curash. If there is anyone who has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
