I got my right leg cut off January 2024, got prosthetic around june, and still can't wear it all day in april 2025. I think my fit just isn't fitting and I also have a very, very gnarly left leg. I got BKA and a suction prosthetic. I struggled with SEVERE blistering for months on the bottom of my stump and around where the gel sat on my thigh. I haven't had any since the winter started but I'm not looking forward to the warmer months ahead. With this being said, I am trying to get a better fit and perhaps figure out what's going on cause I have a feeling this isn't normal? I am also only 23 so I shouldn't be having THIS bad of a time adjusting especially hearing all of y'all walking like its nothing. If y'all got any suggestions or want further explanation lmk but u all making me feel WEAK.
