Re: [QUAD-L] The start of pressure sore
I'll use a soft cotton patch if there is an open area, otherwise I'll just grease the pressure spots.

Re: [QUAD-L] The start of pressure sore
OK, Does it blanch (turn pale) after finger pressure is applied? If so no sweat, keep off your back at night if on a reg mattress and keep up the pressure reliefs. A dark color that doesn't blanch is a stage 1 pressure sore. A visit to your SCI doc would be a good idea. Stunt Hi Dan, This could be your worst nightmare.. or it just might be a red spot on your skin. If it was merely a red spot, it would be gone, by now, if you have resting off of it for a couple of hours. However, if it is still present, it could be more serious, and require more attention. It would be wise to determine if it IS a pressure sore. Massaging the area, and dry cooling the area may help. Contact your doctor's office an make sure that they are aware of your health concerns. It just make be safe to consider that it is the beginning and start with the normal protocol for eliminating that which you believe is a pressure sore. This way, if it is not, you have some experience on what to do. Best Wishes and I hope its just a misquito bite, gone wild.

Re: [QUAD-L] The start of pressure sore
Hi Dan, You are right. You do need to do more than pressure reliefs. I use Lantiseptic® Skin Protectant, in a 14 oz. Jar, on my skin to keep my butt-skin from braking down. Rub it on the areas that get red or on any non-infected wounds. http://www.surgicalsupplyservice.com/Product-List/Product.asp?Leaf_Id=030302# I wish you well.

Re: [QUAD-L] The start of pressure sore
I'm fortunate enough not to have a sore yet due to sitting. Two things you should check is the back of your chair to make sure it is not coming down too far and also to make sure your cushion is not broken down. My doctor, physical therapist and the lady that set up my wheelchair went to great lengths to make sure that my cushion and back were compatible with each other. Jim
Re: [QUAD-L] The start of pressure sore
Stay off it a day and see if the redness goes away. If not, don't even chance it. Stay off it.
