Hello NL.
I'm going to keep this brief.

It started three weeks ago. my mum, who was walking normal with no problem suddenly could not walk. Her left leg began paining her severely that day. My mum was all in tears... She was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that her sugar level was on the high side. The hospital gave drugs which stabilised it, at that point my mum was very weak, couldn't eat, each time she eat she throws up and also had some pain in the leg still. After a week in the hospital, we were then referred to a teaching hospital after a test showed that creatinine in her kidney was high.

The teaching hospital tried their best and I can say my mum is now okay. Except for the left leg. She can't still walk on it, the leg feels cold to touch with a little discolouration above the foot.

Doppler test showed that blood isn't really flowing through the leg. And they said they will need to amputate the leg to prevent the infection from growing to the other parts of the body.

Please I want to know if you know anyone who had similar condition and amputation was recommended but was later healed without need for amputation.

Please share your recommendations. I need my mum now more than before in my life. We are confused on whether to allow them to go on with the amputation or seek other alternatives.

Thank you very much.

Pls note that as at now, her sugar level, creatinine and other things are normal.

May God heal her

From what I have researched there is no cure yet on ground and to ease and save your mum's life, amputation might be the best bet. prosthetic fittings can be done and your mum can walk again and with proper diabetical management no more harmful neuropathy will come her way ever again.
The other leg should be monitored as well.
Good luck.

You're welcome. I don't really have an idea right now, when I do I will let you know asap

Please let the doctor, that's the best decision unless you have the resources to take her out of the country with better medical facilities.

Don't be in a hurry to amputate the leg I have seen something like this before where the man involved later walked..

Sincerely speaking I have no advise but I suggest u guys try different specialist hospitals b4 conforming to amputation.. Nothing works in this country be it government or public health workers

They know the best for her

Damnnn niggar
Too bad

Grab my weed to learn ...if I just suggest delay now to see whether she can walk because her sugar level is already back to normal maybe that will be dangerous

But a real niggar is filled with pathos...emotional and with a good sense of empathy and sympathy

Sorry bros op...

Man they would have to amputate it..cos I don't think there's nothing else they can do..

Hmmm

This is really dicey.
Choosing between two bad choices; delaying and going ahead.

Lobatan! high sugar level is really deadly at later age. From kidney failure to other complications.

Op may the Lord be with you. Have you tried local remedies?

Come to hospital i work, we don't amputate, trial will convince you. SPARKVIEW HOSPITAL. You may call me on this number 08034649433

Oh

I honestly have nothing than your mom witnessing a miracle

Gangrene, amputation is the only solution.

Wishing your moma a speedy recovery :

Amputation is really bad... physical rehabilitation afterwards....

But get an expert 2nd opinion.

Move fast, gas gangrene spreads rapidly.
