Have they tested for MRSA? 

Exactly Sleep Tech! They need to culture her wounds. Basically, they use a q-tip and rub it on the sore. Getting drainage from the wound on to a q-tip and sending it to the lab to see what it "grows". There's really no doubt in my mind that your Grandmother developed cellulitis in her lower legs and the open sores made her vulnerable to "MRSA". This leads to recurrent and non-healing wounds. Her best avenue would be to go see a Doctor at a "Wound Center". I'm sure you could find one in your area.

Does she have Diabetes?

Haha, I made my comment before your comment showed up pinky. You know how on weekends it takes a while for comments to appear. Great Minds think alike!

CAN YOU POST A PICTURE OF WHAT THESE SORES LOOK LIKE. SHE MAY  HAVE WHAT MY MOM HAD. IF SO, I CAN ASK MY MOM WHAT SHE USED TO GET RID OF THE SORES.

My   grandmother has been tested fro MRSA, doesn't have it, nor  diabetes, and has had a biopsy for cellulitis.  We still have no idea what is wrong with her.  I have pictures of her wounds if anyone could tell me something about this disease.  The doctors here are baffled about it and I know there has to be someone out theere that knows something about this disease.

     The puss is a sign of some sort of infection, if they swabbed it they should be able to tell what sort of antibiotic would help to clear up the infection.  Now the origion of the sores themselves I couldn't say.

my dad has something like this going on too it sounds the same anyhow but he is diabetic, and was told to use this salve stuff that u get from hardware stores or maybe walmart i think it called samon salve i can ask him tommorrow.    but it oozes some pretty nasty stuff and i have insisted they are infected but every test comes back neg. but the salve is helping

I have added some pics to my profile, pretty much everything has come up NEG, NRSA, Diabetes,Cellulitis. Biopsys have been done,  We are still @ a dead end.  She, my granmother can't stand the pain ...she has rheumatory arithritis.  Could this have something to do with it?   Still in need of help!

Hmmmm, MRSA doesn't usually hurt, so it must be something else.  Someone on this site had a website for a painful disorder that caused sores, (Lesions) to pop up on the body, I will try to remember the name for you, maybe someone else remembers.  It had a warm fuzzy sort of name, someone wrote a blog on it, I'll try to remember  I have a terrible migraine coming on and finally broke down and took something, so maybe I can think of it tomorrow if no one else remembers before then.  I am so sorry for her.

Hello. It seems like your gran has a diabetes. I skimmed your comments and you gran is not a diabetic. Does the doctor prescribed a pain killer? Do not stop seeking medical attention. It would be the best to go to wound specialist. Help her to allay her pain by distracting her attention. You pay attention to what is she feeling now.
