During caeserian section,i choose to have epidural anaesthesia.

At that time, i got burnt heels caused by contact with some plate used at that time.
It is now three months and the burn has still not healed.
I am not diabetic.The burn specialist who is treating me says it has become 3rd degree.What should i do?

Hi Anonymous,

I would be more than happy to answer your question although I am a bit confused. You sustained burns to your heels due to your epidural? Was this something used during your pregnancy? I am confused about 'plate'?

Can you be more specific so I can help you?
