I HAVE CONTRACTED "WEAVERS BOTTOM" MY SACREAL / BUTTOCKS HAS BECOME SO SWOLLEN AND SORE I AM UNABLE TO SIT IN MY WC AT ALL. EVEN LYING IN CERTAIN POSITIONS IS PAINFUL. MY ISCHIAL TUBEROSITY,(ISCHIUM OR BUTT POINTS)ARE SO SENSITIVE I CANNOT SIT ON MY ROHO CUSHION. I AM A HEALTHY 50 YR OLD T - 9 PARAPLEGIC. I HAVE TRIED PRESCRIPTION, OVER-THE-COUNTER, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS, ICE PACKS AND PRESIDONE STERIODS WITHOUT SUCCESS. HAS ANY OTHER SCI PERSON HAVE DEVELOPED THIS CONDITION? DOES ANY0NE HAVE ANY ADVISE, SUGGESTIONS, MEDICATION OR DOCTORS I COULD SPEAK WITH? I WILL APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS. THANK YOU,
I've not heard of your condition. I'm sorry. It sounds awful.
I did, however, wrestle with pressure sores for nearly a decade. In my four flap surgeries my ischial tuberosities have been shaved down to make them less pointy. i'm unsure if that would help you.
