Asking for Father, Male, 65 years old, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Assalam o alaikum My father in law was experiencing pain in his foot for a week. Doctor gave him pain killer injections of olfen, paracetamol and one more pain killer. After the injections his thumb toe and little finger started to become black and the front part of the foot is very very cold. He doesn't have pain in the toes. The doctor said its because there is no blood circulation in that area and may b due to dehydration while fasting. So he stopped fasting. The doctor is sayinh he will beed surgery to remove the skin that har turned black. All his reports are clear. I have 2 questions. 1. Is suregery the only option? Or can it be treated in som other way? 2. If he does get surgery, how long is the healing process and will he be completely fine?

wasalam. Why did was he given the injection? just fir pain diet what? Did he not try oral medication first. What was the site of injection. Is he diabetic? This seems like small blood vessel damage or If there is swelling which has increased over time and discolouration has not decreased despite measures taken then can be infection. What does he feel in his toe? If infection with swelling thinning of skin and painful movement then needs to be managed with surgery and medication
