My leg is swelling!?!
Question:
My leg is swelling!?
Ok, I live in Hawaii (for about one month) and it is really hot. I am foruteen and I have a below the knee amputation on my left leg. So this morning I noticed that my "stump" was swollen and then I could not fit it into my prosthetic. Should I consider getting a new one, or go without it for a couple of days? Also what could be making my leg swell??
Answers:
The heat can cause swelling, I would try ice, elevation, and ibuprofen, and if it doesn't get better I would go see a doctor.
