I would like to share with you the story of how Oxychai helped my husband recover from a terrible leg ulcer. In 2022 my husband developed a small ulcer 1cm-1cm on his ankle. He was in quite a bit of pain from it so we decided to have it checked out.
We went from one specialist doctor to another but his condition did not seem to be getting any better or any worse. As time went by the pain went from bad to worse and the ulcer began spreading until it grew to at least 10cm. The doctors continued to treat the ulcer by dressing it, bandaging it, and giving strong medication to ward off the pain but nothing seemed to be helping. My husband's blood work was completely irregular and he was sleeping most of the day due to the intense agonising pain. After a while, the doctors said they had done all they could to try and save the leg but unfortunately, the ulcer was slowly killing it, so our only hope was to amputate the leg to save my husband's life.
The leg was amputated and my husband began having some form of relief from the pain however, a week later he began experiencing pain in his other leg and we noticed that the ulcer had now transferred to his healthy leg. We were devastated that this had happened and once again we returned to the consultant to have it checked out. This time, she tried all types of treatments to stop it spreading but it just went bigger and bigger until it was around 3cm-8cm from the ankle up. My husband was again in tremendous amounts of pain, he would drop off to sleep constantly and did nothing all day. He was at risk of a second leg amputation.
We heard that Oxychai in Manchester offers Oxygen therapy which can help heal ulcers so as we had nothing to lose we decided to travel down to Manchester to complete 40 sessions. It was difficult to be away from home but Sarah Dafner, the manager made us feel so well cared for, that it really helped make the whole experience much more pleasant.
My husband completed 43 consecutive sessions at Oxychai. During this time we did not see much of a change in his condition, but we expected this as Sarah had told us that oxygen therapy helps create new stem cells which is a process, and therefore patients generally only begin to see change after they finish their 40 sessions.
During this time my husband was still in pain, constantly dropping off to sleep and there was only a slight improvement in the ulcer. A few weeks after we had finished his Oxygen therapy sessions and returned home we began to see a difference. The ulcer was shrinking! We went to visit the consultant and she was jumping for joy! She could not believe the man in front of her was the same man from a few months prior. His ulcer had almost completely disappeared! Nowadays my husband is a changed man, he is not in constant pain anymore b''h. He will never miss a minyan, learns with his chavrusa, and is productive throughout the day. I also cannot remember the last time he just dropped off to sleep and his energy levels have increased tremendously.
We are so appreciative and thankful to Oxychai for helping my husband have a new lease of life. We fully recommend Oxychai to anyone who may have a similar condition.
May you continue your amazing work of helping others.
Mr and Mrs A.
