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.

Nigeria should be a country where fruit is available in abundace but the production level of farming is still below par.

I agree everything is carbs carbs carbs, Rice , Eba etc

But u will not beleive the damage that this carbs cause if it turns to uncontrolled diabetes. It usually leads to kidney failure. So u wonder why so main people die of kidney failure.


The best rice is eat is unpolished rice like Ofada but Nigerians would rather spend millions to eat polished rice which is worse for health than unpolished rice.

The scientific reason is than unpolished rice is high in fiber content and the body can easily flush it out as waste while polished rice has a higher glycemic index, which means its carbs convert more quickly into blood sugar than unpolished rice.

High sugar level that scent leaf will cure in a week,never take drugs to stabilise High blood sugar, you only complicate it

passendi:
If the leg is gangrenous and you want your mum to live, cut it off and buy artificial leg

Igolonwaanyi:
Please seek for expert opinion by going to a specialist hospital. The situation is dicey, and if nothing is done on time your mom might lose her life.

Last week we buried an uncle who died from Diabetic complications. Earlier on he was told to amputate his legs, but the family wanted to go traditional. In the end, it was damn late. What started as a small sore took his whole life.

kowalsky:
I already highlighted the misinformation. You don't reperfuse dead tissue. Once necrosis has set in so called 'peemanent' tissues of which skeletal muscles and nerves are, you debride (or this case where it's extensive) amputate. More so when the offending issue is diabetes.

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.

If anyone out there wants to save a limb and avoid amputation he must look for a hyperbaric oxygen therapy physicain.

HBOT can actually stand in the gap between loosing it or preserving it.

We are HBOT PROVIDERS.

alstacs:
Kindly give further information on this.

Don't forget to add the amount we eat at a given meal is one of the problem that spike blood sugar and overtime, diabetes.

We tend to eat big and after digestion lead to sugar surge. You have to see an average Nigerian plate of rice, add plantain and other sweet drink

seborrhic:
Rubbish.
We are underfed in this part of the world.
What are our meals?Eba or garri that is equal starch/carbohydrate and water,rice and soups,1 cut of plantain then a plate of rice with a lightweight loaf of bread,filled more with air than flour.These we generally eat as a single meal on average 2 times a day.
The western diet has grains in large amounts early in morning with milk or other drink,2,three course meals for the other days with drinks and snacks in between.
That we eat "big" in Nigeria is the joke of the year.

emmydee:
Nonsense place. My mother was killed in this hospital, Hopeville in Eneka area in port harcourt. The doctor only knows how to amputate. If complications arise, he doesn’t know how to handle it. That was how I lost my mum. Please don’t go there o. National Orthopedic Hospital is best. Igbobi Lagos precisely is best abeg

Spark2:
Thanks for this. Pls do you have any idea the cost of prosthetic leg fitting here in Nigeria?

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.

Like I said in my comment my mum's elder sis suffered same fate , at a time it was reddish ,smelling and have this dark spot all over .
She was taken to the hospital and they said they'll amputate her. That her husband should come and sign.
We were many at the hospital that day and so someone came up with an idea to take her and go the ibile way.
Although they later go the traditional way. After sometime I saw her walking again gradually and I was surprised . was like see the leg they wanna cut in hospital ..!!!!

bolousadex:
May God heal her. I can imagine what you r going though because I have been there. My mum had thesame issue in 2018. Her High sugar level led to a very big sour to the point you could see all her veins directly. Amputation was recommended but we gave it a final shot with another doctor in akure who used a mix of traditional and conventional means. Can we even say the doctor method worked? I really do not think so but somehow, she wasn't amputated and she got healed. One thing worked for sure; prayers and then, we got her blood sugar regulated and stable for 30 days consistently, we got her on another diabetes medication (Jardiance; about 60k for 30 tablets and she took one tablet everyday), supplements; celgevities while she continued treatment with the doctor who opened the sour up did his thing. Miraculously, 14 days later, she started healing...

Tilda143:
Please what ibile way? At where was it done. Kindly help before they amputate my mum's leg
