Dear Patient,
your amputation stump needs regular cleaning and inspection on your part to see if there is any ulcer due to pressure, If you develop one, consult your orthotist and get your leg corrected, But in your case there is a need of excision of the lump, on healing you can again wear your leg after correction from the person who prepared it.
seek appropriate help of an ortho surgeon first, and than you can walk pain free.
Thanks
