Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Anyone here get blisters/sores on their shins? One's that have a very hard time healing? I'm assuming they are from poor circulation. They don't hurt, but take weeks/months to heal, and even then not completely. Are they serious? ph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 ph, Have you gotten your sugars checked for Diabetes? That is a classic symptom - poor wound healing of the extremities. This is just only one possibility, I'm sure, and I don't mean to scare you. Please consider getting this checked by a physician.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi ph, I have the same problem. My shins are a dark color too. I have what's called Statis Dermatitis (sp?) caused by poor circulation. I'm not diabetic either. What is the worst is that the blisters or any small wound, leaks. Last year I had a bad case because of a fall. Because of the operation, I had to see a vascular doctor. He put what is called a " Ulna Boot " on the leg. It stayed on a week the wounds (ulcers now) were much healed. After another week with the dressings, they were almost entirely healed. Ask your doctor about the " Ulna Boot " Rita Anyone here get blisters/sores on their shins? One's that have a very hard time healing? I'm assuming they are from poor circulation. They don't hurt, but take weeks/months to heal, and even then not completely. Are they serious?ph ***************************************************************** Rita B. rblack@... http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=931576 Http://www.angelfire.com/biz/RedEarthGiftsWe are not humans having a spiritual experience,We are spiritual beings having a human experience!***************************************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always had this and I'm not diabetic. I've been tested several times over the years. I think some people are just that way. My dr doesn't know why it is....I just want to be very careful when I have surgery so I don't have post op problems. ~~* AJ *~~ BMI 59 Surgery date 7/24/01 going self pay - Dr Baltasar Spain Check out the Bellingham Support for WLS WWW.lookin2bthin.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
