i've been trying to heal a sore while sitting on a roho for over a year now. I
get one healed and anothr develops. Its very depressing and frustrating. I was
having pretty good luck until my tilt chair died. Now i can't relieve pressure
and things aren't going as well. I visit a wound clinic once a week and have
done so since june 2007

I think you'll be ok now that your cushion is properly inflated. I had a sore
that I got in rehab over the summer heal while sitting on my roho after they
got me on an air mattress at night. Its the other sore that got infected and
lead to another surgery in almost the same place as the sore I got fixed last
year.
When I met with the wheelchair dealer for a new chair, he said that he has seen
people heal on a roho cushion. As long as it has the proper amount of air in
it and pressure relief is being done.
Speaking of pressure relief, since I got this surgery fusing my back even more,
I am not longer able to get any sort of shoulder deppresion that leaves me
unable to get my butt off of the surface. I lean now. I haven't gotten any
new breakdown since the episode over the summer but am curious how you all do
your pressure relief.

HI - All, I need help with a new pressure sore issue.... my roho got a bit
low but i could not tell and now i got a small pressure sore on my left side of
my bottom. My wife said it looks sort of like a purple colored bruise----can
you guys tell me the best things to put on one early---when it has not even
opened up??? is lantaseptic or bag balm good for it ?? i'm real worried because
last april, i got a blister on my heel from my wife buying a pair of tennis
shoes one size too small---that turned into a pressure sore and now 7 months
later it is still slightly discolored and i still only wear sandal type shoe to
keep all pressure off that area. So besides the last shoe incident----this is
my 1st time with a butt area pressure sore---i know to do pressure release and
stay off as much as possible-- but not sure what to put on it in the early
stages. thanks for any help !
