i have had a Venus ulcer for 11 months now and the pain is horrendous, painkillers, antibiotics, compression stockings nothing is making it better.
the worst thing is my practice don't seem that bothered, I have it dressed every two weeks and at home by me, it seems acceptable to just put up with it.
in this day and age you would think there were alternatives on offer.
some days I a, at the end of my tether but in public and at work I just put a brave face on.
how can you elevate your leg all day at work I certainly can't afford not to work, it's just a viscous circle.
you have my every sympathy.

returning home the practice said yes and it could take about a year to heal, now I read of people never being free of this damn thing.
i too have had tea,fall, coco donor morphine nothing takes away the pain. I am now just living with the constant dressing, not getting it wet, no sei Ming, no holidays so debilitating.
i have never smoked or had bad curculation to my knowledge, just bad luck is all I get.
well next week I have asked to be referred to do done who can do more than pills and dressings.
will let you know if I get anything any different to the norm.
