Been dealing with CVI for 10 years, and this is the first time i stopped an ulcer in its tracks
I wear compression socks morning noon and night, but every once in a while that lil ulcer bulge starts to form regardless. Usually when that happened i'd grit my teeth and make time for future wound clinic visits, but this time i doubled the compression to near painful levels, and slept (poorly) with my legs elevated high.
It took all night and then some. Eventually i felt a few minutes of hard pulsing in my leg, and soon after...the bump was gone. Begone future ulcer!
Genuinely relieved that it can be prevented. Thought i'd be doomed to constant wound clinic visits forever. There's hope after all!
