I'm really worried because doctors are suggesting that I need to have my finger amputated due to gangrene. I'm terrified of going through with it and was wondering if there's any chance it can be treated without amputation. Are there other methods out there, like ayurveda or alternative treatments, that could help? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm really concerned about something and need some advice. A few months ago, after a hospital stay, the nurse removed the drip syringe from my hand, and they said the vein swelling would disappear in a few days. But it's been over 4 months now, and my vein is still swollen. Sometimes it hurts, and my hand often feels like it's going numb. Could you suggest what I should do next and which type of specialist I should see?
Consuming water stored overnight in a copper vessel is a traditional Ayurvedic practice believed to have health benefits. Copper has antimicrobial properties, which can help purify water. You can continue this practice 365 days a year, including during the rainy season. However, ensure the copper vessel is clean and dry before filling it with water. Also, change the water daily to avoid bacterial growth. Regularly polish the copper vessel to maintain its antimicrobial properties.

I've been taking Eliquis for a little over a month now, and my period started three days ago. I'm having a lot of accidents. At what point should I reach out to my vascular doctor? I can't walk yet because of the surgery, and I'm 34 with a blood clot that blocked blood flow to my leg for over three weeks. They're saying I might need an amputation soon. Can you help me understand what's normal and when I should be concerned?

I've had swelling in my lower leg near the ankle for about five years now, and I've also noticed some numbness around the last two toes on my left leg. I'm currently taking Losartan H as a maintenance dose. My blood pressure is normal, and I don't have diabetes. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?
Long standing edema in the leg needs a proper examination. Oedema in the legs can be majorly due to some heart problem or kidney damage. Since you have both blood pressure and diabetes, it becomes necessary to check the functional ability of both these organs. You can undergo a thorough examination of kidney function and of heart
