: Thanks Tim and Karen for your responses. My prosthetist told me to back off on the time I am wearing my prosthesis. I had been taking it off every 2 hours for 15 minutes to check it out. I have had several infections in my leg with discharge and this fluid is not at all similar to my past infection discharges. It is very watery and colored yellow/amber. My prosthetist thinks my stump has shrunk enough that I am bottoming out and it is squeezing out of my stump. It does not hurt when I walk on it but is getting a few small red spots that seem to be abraded. Yesterday I found 4 more stiches in my stump and removed them. They had been hidden by the swelling. Your input is very much appreciated. Herb
