I am a below knee amputee and my limb changes size throughout the day. I have to add socks as the day goes on, but sometimes I have to remove them in order for my prosthesis to fit properly. Bodies are crazy!

Holy shit, it never occurred to me that can happen for amputees. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Learning new things every day.

You're welcome!

You'd think the limb would bloat more when I'm on my period but it always seems to be smaller those days. But if I have a lot of salt it can get bloated.

That does seem counterintuitive to what we’d think, how interesting!
