We've had the most rain ever in our area the past 2 months. I can tell when a storm comes in, my breasts swell and the humps under my arms swell. ANyone else notice this with their LE??

    Absolutely! August is storm time here, air pressure is really high. As a result my arm is now 7cms larger on the left, my foot has no sensation whatsoever, have already grazed it 3 time this week because I don't lift it properly when I walk. Roll on cooler weather!'

    Ketch,

    You're definitely not imagining things, in fact I've started adjusting my visits to my PT taking the weather into account. On weeks where the air pressure is high I try and fit in an extra session. Time consuming, but it does help. LE isn't going to go away, but I'm learning to 'manage' it.
