Legs!

Hi just wondered if anyone else gets leg ulcers? I do but usually a small outbreak of a few but at the moment they are in abundance. I have also got lots and lots of little blood blisters all over my lower legs. Some have become ulcers otheres are just slowly going. I haven't had a bad flare on my legs for years and wondered if anyone else gets this?

Hugs

Angela

HI Angela, Yes I had this about 20 years ago and sorry to tell you it lasted for about 2 years. They were also on my heel/lower leg so very difficult to walk. These were the reason I got a disability badge....with 3 children one only a baby it was I God send. They have never returned and I had no treatment because back then nobody had any idea what was wrong with me, so I just trundled along on my own. I did not renew the badge and it is only recently for different reasons I tried to get one but was turned down. That's life with this illness. I know this probably wasn't the news you wanted to hear but......there has been much improvement and I'm sure you will be able to get treatment and any other help you may need.

Hugs and Smiles

Hi Angela,

I too get leg ulcers, not loads but a few really big ones on the front of my legs below the knee. Usually the size of a 50p piece. They take ages to heal and have massive scars when they do so I am very conscious of showing my legs in public. The thing I don't understand is that my ulcers always come back in exactly the same place all the time.

Hoping it all improves for you soon.

Take care, Jo x

Hi Angela,

Just last month I had an outbreak of ulcers on my right leg. They just appeared overnight and took quite a while to go. I still have the scars of two of them. They were not nice and I don't want anymore but i'm sure it will happen again. I have lots of small red blood spots on my back and some of them are getting bigger and sometimes they bleed. I was told by my GP that this is vascular and part of my bechets.

I hope it improves for you to.

Sarah.
