Hi, I have Lymphoedema in both legs, my left leg has split in a couple of places on the back and has been leaking badly for approx 8-9 weeks along with the district nurses we are now changing the dressing approx every 3-4 hours as they just fill with fluid, which starts to burn and sting my leg, the leg is becoming extremely sore now, difficult to remain in bed as the wound is on the back of the leg and so rubs, walking is also very painful. I was looking for any advice on what we can do to stop the fluid, i.e. Should we do a complete compression wrap for a few days, changing the wraps as soon as they are wet? Perhaps the compression may help stop the flow of fluid? Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Paul.
