Colleen - I have an ankle wound no on has been able to heal. There is extreme pain, but it is not part of my neuropathy (well treated by Gabapentin). The medical profession knows of nothing further (save possibly plastic surgery). Is there a group I should be in? Superwife

That's a good question, @superwife. I might suggest the Skin Health group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/skin-conditions/

@mlemieux and other members have written quite a bit about wound care related to his conditions. See these discussions:
- Livedoid vasculopathy https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/livedoid-vasculopathy/
- Treatment options for Lividoid Vasculopathy (LV) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/i-am-looking-for-outcomes-in-the-use-of-blood-thinners-in/

Note, I'm not suggesting you are dealing with LV.

Has your health care team tried Medi-Honey? Worked great for me when other treatments failed.
