Question !
My dad is a RBKA for about 5yrs now and he just got another new socket. The prosthetist says that he fits it for a 3 sock fit. He’s had it for a little over a week now and he’s up to 10 socks already. The prosthetist told us when we went to pick up the socket that if he quickly gets to 8-10 socks consistently to let him know and he can add padding in the front to lower the amount of socks and have better padding for the shin bone that tends to hit the front. My dad is pissed off and thinks that he shouldn’t have to wear that many socks this quickly after getting a new socket but it’s exactly what the prosthetist said would happen. So my question is- is this true that this should be happening? I get my dads frustration of just getting a new one and having to have so many socks on already but I’m not sure if this is just something normal that happens or if maybe the prosthetist is wrong? Idk how to word the question lol Please let me know any thoughts/comments/advice :)
Side note- off the top of my head this is at least his 4th socket I can think of. The last one lasted him almost 2yrs. TIA
