Hey there, I have a foot ulcer and it is taking a long time to heal. Despite the fact that I had no new shoes on and there was no friction, it began as what I thought was a blister on my toe and here I am now. I'm now taking strong antibiotics since it's infected. Has anyone had any experience with ulcers and diabetic foot issues? I feel pretty lonely right now so hoping to hear from others who understand what it's like to live with this condition

Have you had a foot ulcer? What was your treatment plan? How long did it take to recover? Do you have any advice on how to cope?

Take care,
