You need to be in the hospital for about 4 days worth of I.V. antibiotics. Go to your doc , or go to the E.R. If they don't put you in the hosp, they'll at least tell you how to cleanse it and how to put antibiotic ointment on it....and dress it.

I have diabetic legs with nerve damage and could not sleep without Neurontin (gabapentin) ask your doctor if this will help you.

My late mother had this problem which was solved by applying Manuka honey to the ulcers. Any honey will do apparently but Manuka is the best. Something to do with the honey producing hydrogen peroxide.

Try sleeping with the offending leg on a pillow to help the blood flow.

Anti-depressants SHOULD be taken in the morning so smart move Sanpan.
