Preview peripheral neuropathy dealing with open wound for 2 1/2 years

I have been dealing with a wound on my right foot, on bottom of my foot, for over 10 mos now.
I see my podiatrist frequently, and he has put pads on my sneaker to keep the pressure off when I walk.
Seems it oozes when I walk on it,so I wear padded bandages, and I found on Facebook, myuka honey ointment, which supposedly helps in healing.
My wound has greatly improved and is oozing very little now, since I started using the honey.
I’m assuming because of my CIDP, it interferes with healing process.

Good luck!

Myuka Honey is good stuff for wound healing of many types. My Wound Clinic uses it all the time.---It Works

I have have an open wound on my foot that’s not healing. Out of all the doctors my pain management doctor sent me to a vein specialist and that’s what is causing mine not to heal. The blood is pooling in my legs and I wear compression hose. So now I am looking at getting my legs fixed.
I brought it up to my pain management doctor because I was frustrated it is not healing and my legs turn purple if I stand very long without my compression hose.

Hello @bart57, I would like to add my welcome along with @harley22, @katanaguy and others. @burrkay started a similar discussion on a wound that wouldn't heal that you might find helpful:
--- Wound won’t heal - due to neuropathy?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/wound-wont-heal-due-to-neuropathy/

Mayo Clinic does have some information that you might want to look into - Vascular Ulcer and Wound Healing Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/vascular-ulcer-and-wound-healing-clinic/overview/ovc-20459419

Have you thought about seeking help at a teaching hospital or a major health facility like Mayo Clinic?

Try the Scrambler treatment. It worked for me!

@bart57 have you had your circulation checked in that leg/foot? If you have diminished circulation to the offending wound due to poor circulation you need a vascular surgeon. Are you a diabetic as this causes blood vessel damage leading to poor circulation in distal blood vessels? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can aid in healing where poor circulation is an issue. A wound care center can offer you the best bang for your buck as they are one stop shops when it comes to wound care healing.

Yes, i have had veins surgery but again i get a little closer on healing the wound.
Then it opened up again and my neurologist and wound doctor says this will be an ongoing thing probably the rest of my life.
I have been in a special boot non-load bearing for my big toe for two years. My nurse changes the bandage puts collagen and silver in the wound every three days.this is so hard. Im very active, i don’t sit very much.
But i do get depressed.

Whats
the scrambler treatment?

Difficult healing wounds are a problem. I was a burn nurse for a period of time and I understand the complexities you’re dealing with. Did anyone speak about hyperbaric treatment?

Yes my Doctor has.
Unfortunately because I have idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, my insurance won’t cover it.
They say if I had sugar diabetes, Neuropathy they would cover it.
