What to discuss with the care team
- Reduced feeling can make a foot wound less painful than expected. Lack of pain does not confirm that it is minor.
- Contact the treating clinician promptly about a new sore or a wound that is not beginning to heal.
- Report changes such as redness, warmth, swelling, drainage or darkening tissue.
- Explain when the change began and which foot-care or vascular clinicians are already involved.
