pic from 5/2 and comments on new neuropathy, also med dosages
Here is a picture showing the progress of the ulcer. It has completely scarred over at this point so I have stopped using the DuoDerm dressing.
The other picture is of an area that has gone completely numb on the skin surface. The area affected is about 4 cm wide and extends across the top of my left foot near my leg from the inner ankle bone protrusion to the outer. If I press on it, I can feel pressure, but nothing on the surface at all. It is not painful or tingly, just numb to the touch. I first noticed it about a week ago. It hasn't changed since then. When I first noticed it, the skin looked slightly pale or whitish and it still does. Hardly visibly noticeable and didn't show up very well in the picture here.
I continue taking Neurontin 400mg TID, Pentoxyfiline (?mg) TID, ASA 1 per day, Foltx 1 per day and Tramadol 2 tabs TID. I will try backing off Tramadol to 1 tab TID day starting tomorrow. I also continue wearing my support stockings most of the time I am not asleep, maybe 12 hours per day.
