Dear XXXX
Presence of Hyperthyroidism is definitely not the cause for non healing of ulcer. Even if the intake of Thyroxine is twice the normal it is unlikely to cause Hyperthyroidism.
To know th cause of non healing of ulcer, it requires thorough clinical assessment by physician and investigation. I would suggest you the following
1. Consult your Surgeon for clinical assessment and physical examination including blood pressure
2. Investigations:
a) Complete blood count
b) Fastin and post prandial blood sugar
c) Serum creatinine
d) Colour Doppler of venous and arterial system of lower leg
e) Serum T3, T4 and TSH veles
This is list of investigation , further decision will depend on clinical assessment by physician.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
