Bigger legs

[Bev-1966]

Hi gang, went for check up at clinic and my legs are all different sizes top and bottom right and left and are bigger than my last app could this be from having a stocking free day once a fortnight ?

Don't get too hung up about limb volumes. They are just one part of monitoring lymphoedema. Think about how the legs feel and look to you, the weather, what you are up to in your daily life, if your stockings fit well and were you measured by the same person. It's a balance.

the size of my legs varies at times often bigger when its warmer but where the prescribed treatment and carry on

I agree with you morganite, when I had this last bout of cellulitis my left leg was quite a bit larger than the right. Saying that though they seem as you say the weather, and it can play havoc with your legs.

I know when the weather pressure is changing it affects the joints and boy do you know about it. Same with legs and the lymphoedema, the weather has a lot to answer to.
