Foot ulcer

hi, i have a ulcer on my left foot, i had it for the last 20 months, i had a vascular app, it wasn’t vascular and recently i had a dermatology app at hospital, they said is a venous ulcer due to fact that i’m staying too much on my leg.

I changed recently the painkillers prescription due to having too little effect managing the pain but it seems nothing changed and when i say nothing changed is that the pain is same maybe worse.

I called 2 times in the last week to mental health crisis lane, i was mentally drained, i am same now but trying my best not to think about it.

i seriously think to call to gp next week to ask them to readjust my prescription but than they’ll say that i should give time, for gabapentin to work.

I really don’t know how to handle the pain anymore and I feel that at some point i’ll do something stupid.

i’ve tried meditation, i tried everything, nothing is working anymore and i just want this just to finish.

Hi, i also have ulcer on my ankle due to circulation problems, the pain is horrific and nothing seems to help. im in wheelchair now trying not to put and weight on foot as it triggers it off more. ive tried morphine, co-codamol and pregablin. They are so painful ulcers so can understand what you are going through.
