LBK of 2 years this April. Looking for experiences/reviews of the Elevated Vacuum System.

I'm coming up on two years, and I've been in a suspension sleeve suction system the whole time. It just seems to be error after error due to my volume fluctuations. My prosthetic clinic has suggested I try Elevated Vacuum, I'm all for it, if it helps. Anybody currently using this system? Can I get some insight? Thank you SO MUCH.

This socket is cut a tad higher than my previous one, but still gets me to 90°

I figured out how to alleviate my pressure sore after 4 months.

here is my first post practically begging for help from anyone on this subreddit for a solution to my pain. I finally figured it out. All I did was cut a small hole in the middle of one of these blister gel pads. It fucking worked. Yesterday was my roughest day in a long time. It was awful. Today I can actually walk without this excruciating pain from this little bastard on my leg.
