RichboyPee: At what stage did he get the amputation? What was his condition before the surgery? Someone who is fully conscious and physiologically stable will not have the same outcome with someone whose system has deteriorated before the surgery. At that point it is usually a 50:50 thing and your doctor will always tell you. Best solution is early visit to hospital once u have any wound on your leg even if it is a needle or bottle scratch. |

Meanwhile, if your doctor has examined him and told you the leg will be cut off, let them chop it off. If you keep delaying, his system will keep getting weaker from the toxins in the rotting leg and he will eventually die. If you chop it off early, you can still save his life. 💁. Follow your doctor's advice. |

Hmmm! I believe before a Doctor would advised on amputation of any limb, it would av been evaluated by multi-specialists: ENDOCRINOLOGIST, PLASTIC SURGEON and/ Orthopaedic Surgeon. Please note that, saving a life is more important than saving a limb. Be it wet or dry gangrene once the blood supply to the affected area is gone.Amputation is the last hope. The question is could a dead log/wood come back to life ? Medically it maybe No! Spiritually it maybe Yes/No. Diabetic Foot is one of the complications of Diabetes mellitus. Please note that, in a Diabetic patient doctors do encourage patient strict compliance to medications because once any complications set in , ONLY GOD could stop it.. I wish him a quick recovery!

Diabetic foot is a very dangerous complication of poorly managed diabetes T1 or T2. From your submission above, based on recommendations of the medical officer, that amputation is the next best solution, well you can't get a better second opinion here since ,nobody here, has assessed the condition of the patient. This is what to lookout for; 1.stability of the patient to withstand the procedure(amputation). 2.The consent of the patient. 3.provision for post surgical care and rehabilitation. NB; prompt and adequate dressing of the wounds, proper management/regulations of the glucose, and proper infection and pain management will help in the immediate intervention, but then, the concern is gangrene spreading and sepsis(infection) that may be growing unaided on the longer run and turn of events associated with such condition. God's speed for him. I hope he gets better. |

It all depends on the damage so far. If it’s still at foot ulcer level, it could be reversed. My father inlaw just went through it and he’s okay now. If you get the specialist,the sore will get healed |

Even pain has its good side, an alert that something is wrong. Keeping the foot against the advice of the doctor in charge is not wise. For what? |

RichboyPee:we share same story, my dad also faced this same thing. We were in UCH for 40 days. They did below knee amputation on him. After few days he was discharged but was going for checkup twice a week at a state hospital around our side. He died one month after. This was in 2016. The experience is still fresh in my head. Can't forget this antibiotics 'Rocephin' he was using it everyday then in Uch and it was expensive. May his soul continue to R.I.P 6 Likes 1 Share |

Tell your brother to properly start managing his diabetes! He is not properly controlling it, that is why his foot got gangrenous. 1 Like 1 Share |

Please do not agree to the amputation! The chances of survival after amputation is 50/50 and even if the person survives the amputation, the person might not live beyond 5yrs. If the person has a care giver or if you can employ one, I will tell u what to do. You can send me a mail via insurena@gmail.com My mum was in this situation 5yrs ago but thanks to God she's DOing well today. |
