Wound pain
Thanks for replying. I have all the technical info down pat. In fact I see the gastro doc tomorrow to follow up that part of it. I really wanted to find out if anyone had had this and most specifically how they dealt with that pain versus the RSD. There is a distinct difference between the two pains and it sucks (for lack of a better term).
[QUOTE=Jo*mar;493795]Hello,
You might look at the RSD pictures and photos thread , I recall some members mentioning some leg sores..
but not by that name..
[Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a condition that causes large, painful sores (ulcers) to develop on your skin, most often on your legs.
It's not certain what causes pyoderma gangrenosum, but it may be related to a disorder of the immune system. About half the people with pyoderma gangrenosum have an underlying chronic health condition.
Pyoderma gangrenosum is rare. Effective treatment for pyoderma gangrenosum is available, but in some cases, the ulcers may leave scars. Early diagnosis and therapy reduces your risk of scarring. Occasionally, pyoderma gangrenosum may return.
