I’ve had about a 1” – 1.5” by .25” – 3/8” sore since 2001.  Received after 
seeing the so called wound specialists.  My own self-care has kept it clean & 
the same size. My primary doc, whom I see twice a year, is kept up-to-date via 
digital pix.  I clean it w/ tap h2o & gauze, apply a 4x4 folded in half, skin 
prep then Tegaderm...every a.m.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Pressure sore


I have a pressure sore on my tailbone that has been the bane of my existence 
for years now.  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.
