Hi Sheila and all, Are you taking any blood thinner? Xarelto or other blood thinners are the best way to treat the ulcer because it will allow for more oxygenated blood to get to the wounds. You probably need somebody in wound care to talk with, and maybe get more pain control. Zenk

I am taking 2 regular aspirin a day for blood thinning. I have been on warfarin in the past for blood clots in legs and lung. I have been leery of trying stronger pain meds. I am in a test study now with a new grafting material made from placental tissue. It has worked somewhat, but it is a slow process. I talked to my regular Dr. about Xarelto, but she seemed to think I was ok with aspirin as a blood thinner. I also have factor V Leiden, which aggravates the blood clotting. Sheila
