DM has had a leg ulcer for approx 5 months that is refusing to heal and becoming increasingly painful.
It is a venous ulcer and exacerbated by lymphedema. She attends a clinic for both conditions but it doesn't seem to be making any difference to the ulcer. In fact any treatment by the ulcer nurse leaves DM in agony.
Given the times we live in it is likely that I will soon be caring for DM and would like to know how I can best treat the ulcer. Just dressing it by the nurse seems to be making zero difference, and causes agony when it's cleaned.
