WENT TO SEE THE NURSE AT MY GP'S CLINIC,MY LEG IS
GETTING VERY BAD AND IS LEAKING FLUIDS,I HAVE TO HAVE
BOTH LEGS TIGHTLY DRESSED AND TUBILAR ROLL OVER TOP
BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET ONE ON,I CANT GET ONE LARGE
ENOUGH OR A TUBILAR CAGE TO FIT ME,AND TRYING TO GET ONE
ON IS AGONY EVEN THE NURSE DIDNT HAVE ONE BIG ENOUGH,
ANY IDEAS PLEASE,IT WILL NEED CHANGING EVERY DAY,

so sorry to hear this could you not get the nurse to visit you at home to try and dress it for you there must be a way of doing it so you are comfortable. best wishes xx

Boots.com - web site has tubular bandages, size F is described as for large knee or medium thigh - described as washable.

ELIZABETH SIZE F TOO SMALL BUT WILL LOOK THANK YOU

Surely if you need dressings changed every day the district nurses could help? Ask your GP. After a long spell in hospital after an accident I still had a deep cut in one leg which needed frequent cleaning and changing dressings and the district nurses came every other day for some months. (it is possible the hospital arranged this)
