I have a bone like that that has never been diagnosed, but it causes pressure all the time and I have to stay off that area and do a lot of weight shifts. Mine is from a Caregiver breaking my other hip and all the pressure goes on the right hip, which has made that bone stick out and cause a sore. I have to go to the Women Center from time to time last time. They told me to use zinc oxide another doctor I just went to said a&d, but it’s getting red again and trying to open so that gonna go back to zinc. I go back to the doctor this week. They are treating me for sores that developed when my left leg broke and they put on a boot that caused a stage four wound, there’s three areas that were caused by that boot. I had to go to a second opinion and they had to wrap me up . it is not wrapped right now and I’m going back to the ortho on the 18th what we have to deal with because of our bones sticking out. Let’s share a treatments , that doctors have given to us in the past and what works best. Sent from my iPhone
