i have venous stasis ulcers. who has the best site for easy to understand inform!
Question: i would like to know more about what helps stasis ulcers and what makes it worse. also info on wrapping my leg. does stress affect it?
Answers:
Circulation in the area may improve as swelling is reduced. This can be aided by raising the legs above the level of the heart until the swelling goes down. Gradually increasing gentle activity, such as walking, can improve circulation.
Elastic stockings may be recommended to improve venous blood return from the legs, which will reduce swelling
I don't think it is stress related.
