 Welcome to amputee nightmares in honor of spooky season I wanted to share with you one of the most terrifying things that can happen on a daily basis Everyone wants to know does your leg ever fall off mid-walk and yell yeah, that can happen It's not that common But have you ever considered what would happen if you can't get your leg off? That is where the nightmare of sock lock comes in I add these socks throughout the day as layers for padding if I do not properly put them on Maybe there's a few threads around the pin. Maybe I haven't pulled it on fully now When I step into my leg those threads will catch on the mechanism in here and I will not be able to get it off This happened to me at the gym not that long ago. My prosthetist was like hey This is a thing that can happen. Don't panic. So obviously I panicked. What do I do? Do I go to the ER? What are they gonna do cut my prosthetic leg off after fiddling with it for like 20 minutes? I was able to get off apparently the correct option is you can actually pour soap and water down into your liner It kind of helps release your skin and usually you can pull your leg out fix it from there You
