Re: [QUAD-L] get pressure sore well
I have had a bad pressure sore one time and it became a open wound because I did not want to stay in bed to let it heal up. Well it got so much worse that it took six weeks for it to finally heal completely and if it weren't for using the Bag Balm 10 days in to trying to get it to close up. Other words I had someone putting Iodine 10% for the first 10 days and nothing was changing of it till I started with the Bag Balm. Still took six weeks in all before I could sit in my chair again.

You can get the Bag Balm at any feed and seed store most of the time. Hope it gets better for you and then stays away.

I'm trying to stay off of it in my current situation but it's hard when I live alone. Thanks guys, Stacy __Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[QUAD-L] get pressure sore well (udder balm vs Bag Balm)
Farmers have been using udder balm on milking cows for years. Their wives also use udder balm on chap'd hands. But its not sterile. Bag Balm, is sterile, but don't know if its suitable for use on open wounds... Maybe you found a cure?
