Swollen And Stiff Legs, Open Wounds On Shins. Taken Antibiotics. Have Diabetes And Fibrillation
Hi and good afternoon. I am a diebetic, type 2, have a fib, and currently have 2 open wounds on my shins that are not healing very quickly. I have taken some antibiotics and when doing so the seem to quit draining or weeping. once of of them, they weep like crazy. I also my legs swollen, are stiff and hard to the touch. I am unemployed with mo insurance so that makes things a little tough. Any ideas on how to have the wounds stop weeping?

hello jgae82,
weeping wounds are sugestive of very bad infections.....
only antibiotics will not help to subside the infection and stop the wound from getting worst..
kindly consult podiatrist/surgeon and diabetologist as soon as possible before its too late.....
