@cockatoolady Have you seen a wound specialist? They can work with you on repeated visits and commonly do this at nursing homes for elderly patients. I'm wondering if something like electrical stimulation with a TENS unit could increase circulation to help in wound healing?

Hi Jennifer, do you know after months of just dressing this wound they got onto a Dermatologist who has suggested l use the steroid cream at night and a moisturising cream for dermatitis thru the day for this week then they'll review it again. To be honest no one knows what the problem is. I can't use a tens machine due to the metal in my leg. It's a catch 22 situation as the plate is some of the problem but the plate can't come out with the wound the way it is and it just doesn't want to heal. I am supposed to go back this week but no notification of what day. Thanks for your input.
