[QUOTE="lisa2014, post: 679277, member: 140046"] Hi I should have put that my original post was in response to Matrika, in the hope it may help in this thread. My partner had foot reconstruction with various screws etc, back in March, but his wounds did heal around a year and a half ago, and then waiting for the op. I say wounds, as apart from the original point of entry, the infection tracked to various other parts of the foot, during a span of around one and a half/ two years, with healing along the way. Bone infection is the main thing to be aware of. It is possible for ulcers to heal when you get the correct treatment and you don't back down to pressure from the doctors and nurses. If the local hospital had their way he would have lost part of his foot/leg two years ago. Hopefully we have now turned the corner. [USER=134427]@oomhenry[/USER] - I've not heard of ozone therapy, but if it happens again I'll look into it. But if I'm honest, the way you present yourself is not appreciated. I would think the majority of people here have been through hell and back. I have no idea who you are and if you have no experience of Diabetes I suggest you do some research. I'll try and write up the experience next week when hopefully I'll have more time. It would be great to avoid amputations where possible and make people aware of Charcot and avoiding too many complications. [/QUOTE]
