Hello everyone!
I have been struggling with LV since 2011. I have active ulcers since May last year and no cure is helping. I became resistant to Xarelto and to Fraxiparin injections. Since 10 days ago I have started taking tablets Sildena (which is known as Viagra) because I have read it in an article that it helped heal LV ulcers successfully, so I told my Dr and he decided I try this. Started with a small dose 12,5 mg 2 x day and now increased to 25 mg 2 x day but seems it's not going to help for me because I notice new ulcers coming up every day! So am thinking now to undergo for Hyperbaric Oxygen therapies.
Has anyone of you tried HBO therapy? Has it worked for any of you? Looking forward to hearing from your experiences.
Stay healthy 🙂
Eva

Hi Eva, I had HBO treatments in 2010 and 2018 for my LV . The treatnments were very helpful in healing very severe open ulcers. Due to the fact that Medicare does not pay for HBO for LV patients unless you are diabetic I could not afford to continue. HBO is a very good treatment for LV. It is one of the best ways to get oxygenated blood to the wound. I hope you can try it. Zenk
