It took about two years for the leg issues to subside. Phantom pains were the worse. Compression socks helped a lot. I also had to concentrate on my walking pace, which still isn’t the best. I have a little hitch in my get-a-long but it doesn’t slow me down.
I understand the hesitation to eat on the prosthetic side. It’s likely 50% fear and 50% physical. Hard chewing on that side might produce pain. I think that is due to a lot of factors such as the new bone being physically smaller than the original and likely not as stiff. Just my theory. I’m coming up on five years out this fall, four with the prosthetic teeth and am still not comfortable chewing hard foods on that side.
All in all it beats the alternative and I am generally pleased with the results overall.
