Hi my name is Thelma Green. I have callouses on the bottom of both my feet. I ve had cores removed from them several times. The last time I had a very bad one removed from my left foot, it broke open a few days later. It bleeds sometime, but mostly just runs a lot. I keep anti-bacterial cream on it, and keep it covered. Home Health comes out 2 times a week and doctors it. They ordered pads with medicine on them for a while. This place has been open now for a couple of months. I try to keep my weight off it as much as I can, but it s hard since I am obese. No one can fell me why it is so painful. There is one spot on it that is so painful you can t touch it. There is a lot of pink skin around the hole that just won t grow over. I have been to the emergency room 2 times because it got so bad I nearly passed out when I stepped on it. One doctor ordered an MRI, and it showed that I have charcot foot . No one around here knows what to do for it. I am not diabetic. I would just like to know what to do to get the hole to grow together, and stop the pain from being so bad. Please help me if you can. Well you can just forget this question. You really ought to let people know that it cost, before you get their hopes up that you will help. I am on a very fixed income. I can not afford to pay anything.
This is usually a very difficult matter to treat. First checking nutrition, espeically vitamin D levels. THen, circulation and sensation in the area. Then, there is a lot that can be done for wound healing wiht local antibiotics, local coverings and growth factors and even hyperbaric oxygen. This would be something for a wound treatment center.
