i'm sorry to hear you're suffering with this. pressure ulcers especially on the feet can be hard to heal and painful too! if you're seeing a wound care specialist next week then i think you're probably ok. if you've been dealing with this since may i'm sure you've been taught how to care for the wound keep it clean and apply a dressing. if something about the wound has suddenly changed such as your whole foot swelled up and turned red and/or hot or if you have developed red streaks running away from the wound or if you're running a fever then i would suggest you call your wound care specialist as soon as possible. all of those things could point to a developing infection and you'd want to get that looked at quickly. otherwise i'd try to keep the leg elevated and of course keep pressure off the wound area. your wound care specialist will take it from there. i wish you all the best!
is it important to see a doctor if you have a pressure ulcer on the same foot as the broken toe but on the heel? . i have had the pressure ulcer since may 2012 and i don't see my wound care specialist until november 5. i was just concerned about at least calling them to let them know or just waiting until the next appointment.
