May 21, 2014, I had total hip replacement on the right hip. June 14 I experienced the most excruciating pain when I tried to stand. I was rushed by ambulance to the ER to find the stem had slipped down into the femur and my femur was fractured. Surgery was repeated, I went through lots of physical therapy, and then developed a large blood clot in the leg. Recuperating still, now I experience LOTS of heel pain and major burning in both heels. People have said it s pressure sores developing. I only see the skin peeling on my heels but no open sores appearing. Can you help?
Cannot directly diagnose, treat, or prescribe without being there but can give general information. Pressure sores occur in the context of not being able to move and having all the weight bear down and hurt the circulation to an area and to mechanically abrade it. Furthermore, there can be INTERNAL soreness of the muscles when there is pressure onto the muscles as they are pressed onto bones inside. There are standard treatments
