Having considered it at various points throughout the day, it actually appears to shift in prominence -- although I could be mistaken, since I've had the brace on almost all day. But it was smaller when I got up and larger (or more prominent, I guess) after I'd been knitting for a while. (I know I should probably not be knitting, but my alternative habits for empty hands aren't good either; there's a reason I picked up a hobby that I could do in the dark in a movie theatre.)
