Hello Ellen,
It sounds to me like Sami might have a case of bumblefoot. This is
something like pressure sores that people get when they're confined to
bed. I have had elderly pigs with bumblefoot, which can be rather
difficult to treat. With much care and attention, however, I have had
piggies get better from bumblefoot. It just takes time and patience.
Guinea Lynx has an excellent site on the condition:

Good luck and many good wishes for improved health to Sami!
