It is one of the severe complications of varicose veins. Venous stasis (stagnation) is the underlying cause of this kind of ulcer. 

Treatment offered by allopathic system of medicine

Physiotherapy and bandaging or surgeries are the only lines of treatment available. 

This is a case of 52 years old lady (mother of a surgeon). She was suffering from a non-healing varicose ulcer on the right leg just above the ankles since October 1990.

She came for consultation on 7^th March 1998. Allopathically they had recommended surgery as ulcer was not healing since 8 years and her suffering was immense. She first developed ‘varicose vein’ during her second pregnancy about 25 years back. Her ulcer was extremely painful making her sleepless … she couldn’t go to sleep without taking pain killer tablets. Also she would get sever itching in the area around the ulcer. 

She had developed cervical spondilitis causing numbness of fingers. Due to this would tend to drop things.

Also she was getting pain in left knee, as she would shift her body weight on left leg due to painful varicose ulcer.

Occasionally she suffered from urticaria.

As in every case after thoroughly understanding her as an individual in her mind and body her homoeopathic treatment was started.  

She started feeling better on all parameters.

 Her varicose ulcer started healing (as seen in the above photograph).

Pain in the ulcer reduced and she could sleep peacefully without taking any painkillers.

She became very active and energetic she was able to do all her daily activities without any trouble.

Her cervical spondilitis improved and numbness of her fingers disappeared.

Her left knee pain and urticaria disappeared.   

By August 2000 the non-healing varicose ulcer of 8 years standing healed completely (as seen in the above photograph) and she was back to her active, energetic and cheerful self. 

Homoeopathic medicines when given correctly under the care of skillful classical homoeopath heal the sick in the most rapid, gentle and permanent manner. Also it is not one particular part but the whole being that is been taken care of that brings the sense of well-being.
