Hi Kathy, I'm sorry, but I too had a chuckle at your expense. I have been a amputee for over 35 years and believe me, this can and does happen to most amputees at one time or another. Most probably, your socket is a bit loose. I can't believe your prosthethist didn't address this. If it is fitting properly, this will not happen.
Have you lost some weight recently? Is your stump still shrinking? Tell him to make the needed adjustments to stop this from occuring. It may only take a thin liner to take care of the problem. You should not have to 'deal with it'. I wish you the best of luck with this embarassing situation. Tom T.
