Now it just doesn't fit like it's supposed to, and the damage is coming from me trying to force-fit it again. It actually is working, and the fit's getting better, but sometimes I go a bit too far with it because I can't feel any minor friction points until the sores become severe enough to cause some deeper damage. It'll pass and I'll be running and biking again soon.

Cuts down on the friction and keeps you from getting blistered. I currently have a patient who is an amputee from WW2. He takes his wife's old nylons and cuts the feet off to use on his leg. He also puts a couple of 4x4's in there because his prothesis doesn't fit well.
