Well now, I must be the most stupidest person on these boards. I thought a podiatrist was a medical doctor. I do know that the ortho is a better specialist (in the bone department). That much I knew. I especially appreciated the fact that this Dr. Hubbard is extremely knowledgable about people with PN.

So I will tell Alan exactly what you guys have written.

He just walked over to me and said "You know, I think these orthotics are working, my foot feels better"

It was debrided today also.

So we shall do the regranex and wrapping thing for the next ten days and then he goes back. If all does not continue in a positive vein, I do hope he goes and sees Dr. Hubbard. God, almost 3 years now and he still has this ulcer.

I don't know why no one told us to see an ortho guy two years ago. Don't these doctors refer you to specialists when they know they can't do any more??? I must be clueless.

thanks much
