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.

Mum got amputed in 2015 diabetes wahala but her leg would have been saved some doctors sef. Worse than what led to loss her leg has happened yet d other d other leg dey. Now Whenever her sugar is high her leg decays but gets by a drug called rocephine plus flagyl prescribed by a doctor. You can research n try it

Differentiate:

Like everything is not working. Whites won't think of amputation at all they'll look for other means of survival
But here reverse is the case . op pls they should not amputate her leg .the elder sister of my mum suffered same thing after money was spent she's walking perfectly now.
Spark2 pls you said lastly that everything about her is now normal . don't allow whack doctors to amputate your mom.

izombie:
My friend, if you have money send your mom abroad immediately. Don't send her to India o. Because 90% of doctors in Nigeria are quacks. When they can't diagnose malaria, typhoid, diabetes and pneumonia they go for the kill. Never trust a Nigeria doctor. Send your mom to Europe or America, even south africa. Na beg I dey beg you o. Get a proper second opinion.

Spark2:


No we're in Jos University Teaching Hospital

SpyChild:
Abroad they would have let a vein from another part of the body to flow through that leg until it’s stabilized and it won’t have to be amputated but it will be very expensive. However I think you should go online, watch some of dr Jason fung videos on YouTube, read the diabetes code and also the obesity code. It’s gonna help your mum if you guys can practice some of the therapies recommended therein. Good luck

kowalsky:



Lol. Even in the Queen's palace gangrenous diabetic foot secondary to diabetic neuropathy will be amputated.

Either they do what I'm assuming to be an above the knee amputation now or they'll come back much later for a full limb amputation.

InTheCloudySky:
Refuse the amputation and have her see a Neurologist asap. Walking difficulties and/or continuous problems with the legs are often a sign of brain diseases/disorders. The brain controls our walking (including both movement and balance). Have her see a well-trained Neurologist.

mikestate:
not really, she could do a bypass. She probably has Peripheral Arterial disease(PAD). Which means there is a blockage or damage in the artery in the leg. It could be bypassed using the vein.

What did his mother ever do to you people ? Why do you want her dead?

amendara1:
Go and get plenty bitter kola, alligator pepper cut the bitter kola into pieces and soaked it with the alligator pepper in plenty coconut water, let it stay for 7days for a Bette result, then give your mummy 20ml morning and night. May God let it work for her,

DisLifeSha:
She will need insulin o. To be taken regularly. This is type 2 diabetes. Go to a reliable doctor. If her sugar level is well controlled, she won't need to go through that.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and am broke right now and unable to buy this expensive insulin. I've only eaten 4 times this week.

I also have malaria now that I can't treat well because no money. This life is not easy

do4luv14:



start by going natural, try eating enough bitter leaf soup, also drink the water,

buy bitter kola and Alligator pepper, 5seeds of the A-pepper mix with bitter kola, will work magic

DisLifeSha:
God bless you sir

A305:
STOP the Doctors from performing that operation.

Get Astragulus to reverse your mom's kidney failure and when it's reversed, Get her on a low sugar diet and intermittent fasting.

I promise she will live very long and healthier.


And just so you know high Creatinine is a sign of failing kidney. The damage needs to be reversed ASAP.

Spark2:


Thanks for this. Pls do you have any idea the cost of prosthetic leg fitting here in Nigeria?

okoroemeka:
no amount of prayer, deliverance,shaking, posturing, fasting and mimicry could make any difference in a medical case like this,my first guess is that she might be obese and managed the carb diet poorly with little or no exercise which is a killer,medical intervention is the only option if gas gangrene has developed past normal surgical debridement but the fear will be for the stump to heal after amputation which is another big problem.

DisLifeSha:
Unfortunately, it won't. She can change her type of diet. She might need that insulin to survive

khreus:
how does this correct the blood not flowing to her extremities though?

emmydee:
Let me also use this opportunity to advise everyone here.
If you are over 40 years, stop drinking beer and heavy alcohol.
Stop eating everything you see, stop eating heavily.
Eat more of fruits than carbohydrates.
Forget soft drinks, juice and the likes. They are not healthy at all.
Form the habit of drinking ginger and garlic tea morning and night.
Do not drink all those sliming tea or so called herbal tea. They actually attack your kidneys.
Eat natural nuts a lot such as groundnuts and cashew
Eat less of bread and tea
Eat chicken
Reduce intake of red meat
Forget all those baked food such as meat pie, doughnuts, etc
It is easy to eat foods and drink the best of wines and beer but when the sickness comes, even the best hospitals may not have answers.
