You don't necessarily have to use the tape method. You could wedge
something in your crack on both sides of the sore to give it some air.
Just make sure the wedges don't cause problems.

Hi Eric,
My sore is in the crack of my
butt cheeks. Air would help it, but I can not imagine taping your butts
to the bed rails. I am willing to try anything. The wound doc has us
packing it with new gause soaked in clorox solution. What I don't
understand is how can it heal up when it's packed?Thanks for the advice.

I'm having trouble visualizing where your sore is. Do you have
to actually spread your cheeks to see it? If so, it might just need
some air. Find a way to keep your cheeks apart while you lie on your
side or better yet your stomach. For hemorrhoid surgery, you lie on
your stomach and they tape your butt cheeks to the bed rails to hold
them apart. Careful with the tape if you try that. Don't want to get
sore from the tape.

Hello everyone,
My name is Gayle, I am a
c-5/c-6 quad, 8yrss. post. I have been lurking on the quad-list for
several years now. I have only posted maybe two times, so Iam
realitivly new to the list. It is hard for me to type, but good
excercise for my arms. I am fighting a sore in the crack of my butt.
It has been there for 3yrs. now. The wound doctor at Shepherd Center
say that it is not from pressure. I think it started when I was pulled
across the bed with a draw sheet to turn me on my side. I believe the
movement from my bowel program(DIGITAL STEM) causes it to stay open. I
and my husband are so frustrated with it. We have tried everything. I
don't consider surgery a option, because I do not handle being put to
sleep well. Now after reading Stacy's post I am truly scared.
I did my rehab at SHEPHED
CENTER. It is a geat place. I have a baclophen pump that has made my
life so much better. My husband is my caregiver. The company he worked
for moved to Germany 2yrs. ago and he stays home with me. I was injured
in a car arash, caused by a uninsured drunk driver. On impact my
seatbelt broke and my airbag deployed breaking my neck at c2. I was
paralyzed by a bleed in my spinal cord. I sued the car company and won
a very large amount, which really helps with all the expenses of being
a quad. My arm is tired so I must go for now, but I will be back!
sincerely,
Gayle
(48yrs. old)
