Hi Shiela, Just wondering if you would benefit from a more potent blood thinner. Aspirin is not enough to get oxygen to the wound. Maybe just a trial on something like Xarelto would be a thought. Also, some wound care studies have suggested the an eye drop called Timolol Maleate , your doctor would know what it is, placed on the ulcer a few times a day has been shown to improve blood flow to the wound. The drops are a prescription but are not expensive.
Wishing you better treatment, Zenk

Thanks for the info on the eye drops! I will see about the timolol Maleate. If I try it I will have to test it on my skin first to see if I have a reaction to it. I have a number of allergies which complicates things.
