Suggest Treatment For Non Healing Ulcers On Bone
Hello I HAVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS WOUND CARE DOCTORS. THE FIRST SET OF WOUND CARE DOCTORS DEBRIDED MY 2 ULCERS TO THE BONE. THE FIRST GRAFTING I HAD DONE WAS UNSUCCESFUL AND THE THE DOCTOR SEVERED NERVES IN MY FOOT WHERE NOW I HAVE SEVERE NERVE PAIN ALONG WITH SEVERE PAIN IN WOUNDS. I WENT TO ANOTHER WOUND CARE DOCTOR AND HE PLACED APPLIGRAPH IN MY 2 WOUNDS WHICH CAUSED MY 1 SMALL WOUND TO OPEN UP AND THE LARGER ONE ONE IS NOW TWICE THE SIZE AS IT ORIGINALLY WAS. THE APPLIGRAPH ATE MY TISSUE. THE FIRST FRAFTING I HAD DONE LEFT ME ALSO WITH FIBROUS SCAR TISSUE WHICH IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HEAL MY 2 UNHEALING WOUNDS WHICH I HAVE HAD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS? I HEARD HONEY CAN HELP. THANK YOU, ROSE

You can try VAC therapy to heal ulcers. This encourages the healthy granulation tissue bring healing. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for the nerve pain.
