The volume of stumps, also known as residual limbs, fluctuates throughout the day due to factors such as activity levels, air pressure, and temperature. Over time, the size of a stump decreases, necessitating a new socket. Fresh amputees often require multiple sockets initially due to post-surgery swelling. For instance, my latest socket lasted me around two months post-surgery, while a friend of mine, an amputee for 30 years, has retained his socket for seven years.

I've explored other options before deciding on my new socket. Here's what I found:
