Mrkumareze:There are several types of fractures. Imagine going to a bone setter for one of these below most especially the 3rd from your left. They end up compromising the issue. Your leg will rot off and you'll end up going back to the hospital to get it amputated.. say no to bone setters.

KosiGee: Kindly eradicate this faux conviction from your mind. My mother got countless bone (fore and hind limbs) fractures healed successfully across Lagos with TBS skill she inherited from her late father in Ikere Ekiti. The treatment demands no x-ray (that emits radiation which may endanger your life later after exposure)... just herbal/plant and animal extracts have been doing the great work of bone healing since the invention of the medicine by her late father over a century ago. |

When I was little, I slid on a banana peel and fractured my arm. I remember I had POP and sling over my arm for some time. On a second occasion, I was playing daddy and mommy drama with my childhood friend, and she was piggy-backing me when we both fell and I broke my arm again (can't remember whether it was the same arm or the other one). I had POP again for a while, it seems I also remember red mud and pepper rubbed on my arm. But the main one I will hardly forget was in JSS1 when my classmate went for my leg rather than the ball. My left knee got dislocated and I was left in real pains. I could neither move around nor go to school. My parents opted for traditional bone treatment. So my first mission to the expert was on the Nkwor market day of my village. We met this old man who did the massaging: I cried my eyes out because it was so painful. My voice nearly go. So after treatment, we returned to PH and watched out for improvement for some time; but I no see much. Then, my father decided on a second visit to the village bone healers on a different market day. This time, we met a different person - a young man. My heart sank when he said that the old man didn't do anything. Before I knew it, he called some able-bodied young men to restrain me by seizing my two hands and two legs. When I saw the situation, the leg wey no good begin fyn where im go run go. The restrainers pulled my left leg straight, while this huge guy pounced down on my knee with all the might of his upper body. I screamed and the entire market stood still: then I saw my ancestors begin to pass by one-by-one. There was no more energy left in me to cry. At this point, they applied the usual red mud and pepper paste all over the leg after which me and my dad returned home. The truth is that I don't know how I managed to survive that day, but not too long after that I was able to use my leg perfectly again. 7 Likes |

It was a crazy moment for me last year October. Had an accident while going to work and broke my left humerus . Visited 3 local bone setters in the space of 4 months with no improvement until my my sister took me to one general hospital in Ibadan have forgotten the name now . The doctor have to break the bone again (reduced ) and Was on pop for 8 weeks and my bone joined. Funny enough it wasn’t painful @all compared to the pain I went through in the hands of those local bone setters .....my advice go to the hospital and have an X tray done . This local people will only make things worst for you . 4 Likes 1 Share |

Eyeness: I'm not expecting you to say anything different from this. You must defend what u do. A doctor that ran series of scan and noticed what might be a threat during child bearing and refused to tell the person involved or her relative did nothing wrong. A medical doctor that saw that a pregnant woman cannot deliver by herself and was very weak and dying and he kept forcing her to push did nothing wrong. It took a shout from a non medical woman to wake up the medical doctor to his senses to remember that he needs to do CS on the woman to save the woman and her baby. Still you believe the doctor did nothing wrong. What do I even expect from half baked doctors that litter everywhere in the country. And if you did not see anything wrong with the doctor I talked of, then you're one of the quack health providers. 4 Likes |

Hm, I remembered back then in 1997 when I had this dislocation on my left elbow. The first bone settler I was introduced to was something else. He would twist an already dislodge joint in an attempt to fix it to its original position not minding the pains that comes with it. My dad of blessed memory would be shedding tears while this bone settler was at it. We had to move back to the village when it became unbearable. To my surprise, the village bone settler who was more like wizard was doing it with so much ease and tenderness. Without any pain, one could practically hear the bones repositioning and just in a few days everything became normal. The most amazing part of it is that she did not charge a dime. I learnt it is a family something that is passed down from generations and they just do it freely but if you so desire to give something in appreciation, they will gladly collect. 5 Likes |

Broke my right leg somewhere between my knee joint 12years back I lived with it for weeks I didn’t even inform my parents as I was in secondary school then. It was badly swollen in two weeks I couldn’t bare the pain no more, I sorted self treatment that was how I found one bone setter like that I booked an appointment and all.. on that faithful day I couldn’t draw up the liver to go there as the stories I heard wasn’t all that good and nice, I just Kukuma told my parents and I was taken to a pharmacist I was administered some drugs and treatment … The pharmacist told me if I had stayed two days more I would have been heading to igbogbi straight! 1 Like |

Well I dislocated my right shoulder at my PPA during my NYSC, it was around 9am I was taken to a hospital where I didn't see the doctor until 5pm because he was in the theatre I was in great pain, I remember I drank like 10 bottles of water because I was sweating profusely and disoriented. One of the nurses applied stupid first aid that only made the pain worse. When he arrived, he did x-ray, then he put POP, another pain because they usually apply it with boiling water, but he didn't reset the dislocation. He just applied bandage and put POP and my two hands were hung awkwardly. I went home I didn't sleep or bath for a whole week. I couldn't use any of my hands. I couldn't sleep because if I lied down, I won't be able to get up. No hands. I just sat resting on a pillow. I was fed the little things I could eat e.g boiled eggs. Midnight is the most painful time because the joint will be trying very hard to reposition itself. I went back to the doctor that nothing happened, he removed the POP and insisted that I was fine when I obviously can't use the right hand and it had got pale and thinner. On that same day, my boss took me to see his family doctor in the next town Immediately the doctor saw me, when he removed my shirt, he said this is anterior dislocation he went on to describe it, he never did x-ray. He said the former doctor should have just relocated it that very same day that the accident happened, though it would have been a painful process but that I would be fine He went on to say that as at now, that method would be dangerous because it is dangerous, as I would lose my consciousness if they try to force it back now, it was too late He also said that if I had delayed in coming to see him for two more days, the damage would have become permanent and I would lost the use of my right arm forever and ever, Amen So he gave me anaesthesia, and before I woke up, he had done his job.... My shoulder is fine till date I can't forget the doctors Dislocation is very painful, very very painful. it was really like hell , during the first week, I actually wished they should cut off my right hand just to relieve me of the pain 3 Likes |

kstyle2: Your last statement is what I am trying to find out too. If labour pain is worse than dislocation, then I might resort to selective CS or the use of epidural. |

Kinterez: To think that a local anaesthesia can save one from all this pain, but it is hardly administered because according to them, the expression of pain and the absence of it is an indication whether or not the dislocated joint or broken bone has been successfully reduced. |

diara21: A local anaesthesia was administered, reason why you didn't feel the pain. In all, I have had just one elbow dislocation and several knee dislocations. The elbow joint dislocation was fixed by an orthopaedic specialist. I was put to sleep and the joint reduced, zero pains. I wore POP for a month and today, I don't even feel a thing there. Only thing that reminds me of that ordeal is the scar I incurred on my hand due to constant scratching. The knee joint however was fixed locally and ever since then, I have had over 8 dislocations/subluxation/sudden pull and realignment on that same spot. The pains I feel when its been reduced is a story for another day. Right now, all I am looking for is the courage to go and have it fixed properly in the hospital. |
