sores on the foot and ankle area Posted: 10-15-03 22:02pm
My daughter age 41 has sores on the foot
and ankle area that rise up from
underneath the skin, then break open.
She started with one spot, and has surgery
on it twice to get rid of the diseased
area. She had a vacuum pump in the
surgery wound for about 7 weeks. The
wound is healing from the inside out and
is still partially open. Now she has 3
more sores, one has opened, one is ready
to open, and one is in the "pimple" stage.
She is on antibiotics and was on really
strong pain pills. She has been to
cleveland clinic and also is seeing a
podiatrist. She has seen an infectious
disease doctor, rhumotologist, vascular
Dr., internist and maybe a couple more.
She has had much blood work done, and
cultures taken. So far no name to this
disease. The tissue is dying around
these sores. Does this sound familiar to
anyone? The brown recluse spider bite
has been ruled out as has many viruses and
bacteria.
