Double amputee stumps won't heal still after 4yrs.?


I am a diabetic and a double amputee my stumps still won't heal after 4yrs MD can't help anymore. Any suggestions

I would go to the nearest teaching hospital. Preferably one that does research.

Do you have a wound care clinic at any of the hospitals where you are? They specialize in this. All Infectious Disease physicians deal with this also. I would call your nearest hospital and tell them what you need and see if they can help.
