Hi Meredith,
I'm so sorry to hear about your sore. Have you gone to the would care
department to be evaluated.
What do you think caused it? That is always the question what is causing
the red marks that turning to sores. I often have a hard time knowing if was
my shoe, my splints on my chair. If only there was a magic solution. Our
lives would be so much easier. I will pray that the antibiotic will keep it
from going to the bone. That almost happened to me over the summer. I have
you use a wound vacuum for two months after being hospitalized one month.

The doctor says my wound is deep and is concerned it could go to the bone
and I don't want to go to the hospital so I am on antibiotics and I'm
being very diligent. Learned my lesson.

Depend on the sore, and its reason. Pressure sores should be clean and
debreeded and bandaged. Infections, not treated properly can produce more
negative effects.
Best Wishes

Hi all,
I ignored my sore and it got bad overnight, my foot swelled up and the
sore literally exploded with pus and blood ( my aide almost threw up) She
squeezed the ick out and we soaked it in salt water and bandaged it up. Should
I get some antibiotics? Can I just continue soaking? Thanks
Meredith
