Pls take care, I lost 4 toes recently. Spent almost 100k trying save it, but still lost it. I have been struggling for 4 months, still not over. Still on Antibiotics to save the remaining big toe. Dont let the toes lose the sensitivity, thats the start of something very bad.
Also to other diabetics, if you do see any inflammation or pus on your toes, please dont see ortho specialist, wrong type of Dr. Immediately see a good Infectious disease Dr, the know how to save your toes. I lost mine because the first Dr I saw was a Govt trained Ortho in private. Bad Choice.
Trust me, the bacteria today are very, very strong and resistant. It can take 6 weeks of CORRECT IV antibiotics to try settle (Can recur anytime even after treatment) a bone infection (Which happened to me within a week of first symptoms)
To all diabetics and pre, take care. The bacteria easily get into your system and its very, very hard to get rid off.
