What are some pros and cons when you have a prosthetic leg?

[@Crew9t]

Pro: Feel like Iron Man Con: Have one leg

[@un-nown7227]

@@Crew9t hmm... sounds worth it, let me find the saw.

[@granola1210]

@@Crew9t hey..can I ask you if u feel any kind of discomfort while wearing it?

[@Crew9t]

@@granola1210 No, I mean occasionally I will feel a little bit of pinching or rubbing, but that’s very occasional and usually passes before I even get to the point where I have to adjust anything. The only exception is when I end up with a hole in my outer sleeve, like I showed in this video. But that’s because once there’s a hole I no longer have a proper seal, so I start sliding around inside of my socket.

You just answered a question i didn't know i had. 🤙🏽

[@BB-ts2gu]

I am a BKA and have been for only a little over a year. I have the pin and lock system and I LOVE my prosthetic. Have you tried the pin and lock? You are an inspiration to me, thank you!!! Really enjoying your videos!

[@emilyrodriguez9502]

[@Chesbo]

i have both my legs yet found this video interesting. I came from the call video as most people probably did. Im glad all is well with you now after that. I am curious though, did you actually send the operator flowers or ever speak to him again?

[@Crew9t]

Glad you found it interesting. No flowers BUT an anniversary gift for he and his wife a few months later.

[@montysandor8362]

what tape do you buy?

[@WhozOnfirst]

Are the sleeves custom made for the circumference of your leg specifically or are they off the shelf like small, medium or large?

[@Crew9t]

They are off the shelf. There is a little bit more detail than just small medium and large thankfully. They go off of both length and circumference. Off the top of my head I don’t remember my measurements anymore, but I’m pretty sure I’m a medium circumference large length. I may be a medium/ medium though. But if I went up in circumference to make it easier to fit over my socket, then once I got down to the lower portion of the socket which is substantially thinner, it would be all bunchy and would not have a good seal. I learned that the hard way when I thought I would cheat and go up a size just to make it easier to get on, and then had to seriously tape the hell out of it in order to make it work.

[@boryker4044]

Dude, DBK here. Let your hardware show. It looks cool. I have spent hours changing out sleeves. I’m brutal on them, but not abusive. Your blogs rock. Ditch the pineapples, baby!!!

[@Crew9t]

Wow, DBK! You must have some wicked balance! Yeah I’m really abusive on my sleeves because of my job. I’ll go to walk around a stack of pallets too tightly and end up catching the corner of a pallet directly onto the side of my sleeve; put a nice gash in it. Or I’ll snag it on a nail or something. The fact that this one lasted from July until now is actually quite impressive. Then again it’s had a tear in it for about 2 months now and I’ve just been dealing with it. Haha and pineapples are my fiancé’s favorite. She chose the cover.

[@boryker4044]

@@Crew9t whose leg it it anyway?

[@SuperPappie]

What kind of tape is that?

[@margaritohernandez9744]

Where do i get the tape that you use?

[@Crew9t]

There are some online amputee stores, but I personally get mine directly from the prosthetists office.

[@ravenshania]

I’m sorry ❤

[@lanniehimorah7502]

Why’d you only take your pants off AFTER the camera stopped?! 😩😩😩 Cool video though 😉 Good information and you look good! 🤪
