After a little more than a month on my new meds I don't feel different but my leg seems to have cleared up a tad. I'm not sure why the pic has a bluish hue. Its some odd effect from my camera. The actual level of pain or discomfort has gone down by a modest amount. In months past if I got my ulcer wet in the shower it would hurt or sting. Now there is only a slight sting.I usually bandage my ulcer about twice a day with fresh gauze and ointment. For some odd reason over the last few weeks my ulcer has been 'leaking' clear fluid, edema fluid. This was a real problem a year ago before I started taking the steroids and my leg and ankle were visibly enlarged. Currently my leg doesn't seem enlarged at all, so this edema fluid is odd. I could lay the blame on my new medication but this mysterious edema leakage has happened in the past as well. It begins and ends within a week or so for no rhyme or reason. Its obvious when this is occurring because when I change my dressing its usually bone dry. During an edema spell my Telfas are soaked and even the gauze is damp. I expect this to end within a week or so, again with no explanation.
