Horrible toe

[sylvi]

Here is my toe after the pins have been taken out and that's a ulcer on my toe according to my GP who put me on a week's supply of antibiotics. Xxx

[Hidden]

Ouch!!! here’s to quick recovery

[Gnarli]

Oh flip but that looks sore. I hope you feel better for having the pins removed and that it heals quickly

[mccaffs2014]

That looks really sore! I'll think twice before I complain about sore feet again. I hope that you feel better soon.

Looks sore Sylvi xxx

[Ruth12345]

Ooowa. Hope it heals quickly. X

[Pinkypie2018]

Oh my that looks painful, I will think twice too before complaining again. Wishing you speedy recovery.

[Matilda_1922]

Hope that heals quickly. If antibiotics are not working in a couple of days then see GP again as that looks nasty and I know you have diabetes

[sylvi in reply to Matilda_1922]

I don't have that Matilda, but it wouldn't surprise me if I don't get it.xxxx

[Mmrr]

Speedy healing with the antibiotics

[sylvi]

Thank you everyone for your kind words.xxx

[charisma]

I hope that is under control and heals nicely, looks nasty indeed. All the best, Sylvia. 🙂

Looks sore! I have gammy toes and ulcers are deeply etched on my unwanted list!

Hope it heals soon.

I hope it heals quickly

[juliea793]

Hi. That looks nasty and hope the antibiotics kick in pretty quick. I hope you have been told to keep foot elevated to aid healing. Good luck.

[sylvi in reply to juliea793]

I think we will be going back to the drs as though it is getting better it hasn't gone completely yet,xxxx

[juliea793 in reply to sylvi]

Good idea to check with GP.I dealt with leg ulcers for many years and its all to do with looking after our circulation..Good luck..

[sylvi in reply to juliea793]

I thought it was nothing until last night when I looked it up last night. I wasn't that worried when I saw the dr as I thought the antibiotics would clear it up quickly. Just goes to show how wrong I can be.xx

[juliea793 in reply to sylvi]

Hello/ wherever you have a break in the skin you open the door to infection..and the toes being furthest away are vulnerable. An ulcer is a wound that has not healed in 6 weeks.Well that is what it was when I last worked in health 9 years ago. Good you are seeing your GP to check.

[wishbone in reply to sylvi]

They can be stubborn buggers apparently. One of the reasons I go to NHS podiatry is so they can check for ulcers. They also have a habit of forming on the calluses that I have on my soles.

[sylvi in reply to wishbone]

I have a RA podiatrist I go to, but at the moment I am under the dr. so I will be back there tomorrow.xxx

[wishbone in reply to sylvi]

I may be wrong, but I don't think any of my podiatrists specialise in RA though some do seem to know a fair bit about it. Is yours a private or NHS podiatrist?

[sylvi in reply to wishbone]

She is NHS and I see her about once a year now unless I contact her if something is wrong. SHe says my feet have been well looked after by hubby he cuts the toes and I use a scholl pedi on the hard skin. Best thing ever I have had.xxx

[wishbone in reply to sylvi]

I see a podiatrist every 10 weeks. They shave my calluses and corns along with cutting my toenails. A bit odd perhaps, but I rarely get hard skin.

[Pulfs]

Ouch that looks painful did it get infected don't remember mine looking like when they were pinned that take care and a speedy recovery x

[sylvi in reply to Pulfs]

Its a ulcer Pulfs and I have no idea how it came about as those toes have looked as well as the crown jewels are guarded.xxx

[Pulfs]

Poor you hope it clears up soon xx

[linda-5502]

[Hidden]

[sylvi]

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

Maybe I must post my feet as they are curled. We can have a sexy foot competition

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Do that darling then I can have a laugh, joking aside I wish you could have seen mine before surgery.xxxx

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

They look nice now, seem to recall Madonna was into feet or was it toes 🦶 😝

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

I sometimes feel like a science project.

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Poking you full of needles with no cure at the end.xx

[Nessa28]

Poor you . Eat well hopefully it will heal quickly , if it’s not improving in a couple of days go back and get referred to podiatry . Sending hugs 🤗🌷
