Somebody else on this list posted this before, but I kept it because it sounded interesting: . When a foot or leg ulcer lingers for weeks months or even years without healing, it can seem hopeless. It’s frustrating when your body just does not heal, no matter what treatments you try. But there is real hope for healing your ulcers with Apligraf® , utilizing the latest in biotechnology for wound care. Apligraf® consists of living cells, proteins produced by the cells and collagen. Apligraf® is not another ointment or dressing. It is a living, cell based product that helps promote healing of venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers. http://apligraf.com/patient/

It is not deep and has never been seriously infected. However, I have been fighting it for over six years! I have some feeling in that spot and sometimes it feels like a red hot branding iron. Bad! It is about 4in by 4 in. In the last several days it has begun to bleed profusely. I don't know whether this is good, bad, or irrelevant, but it is a first. Any of my buds here got any knowledge to share about it? Thanks. Larry Willis I use a Roho cushion. Sent from my iPad
