My father is diabetic and 6 months back, he had a fracture at ankle. After consulting 3 ortho, the pain has not decreased. Last week we did emg after he stayed complaining of numbness in his leg. It says there is neuropathy. Now the Ortho says he need major operation in his leg. Is he trying to loot us? dietician asked to reduce cholesterol, my father is stick thin and eats only bajra roti and tea since a year. How come he has cholesterol. What should I do?
