A story, as a Reminder
05 August 2022
Friday

A 38-year-old Bangladeshi worker came with his sponsor. I was not the first doctor he consulted for his problem, in fact, I was the third GP. He was having problems in his lower limbs with difficulties in walking. The problem started around 3 weeks earlier. At first, he took some medications from the pharmacy. Then one after another went to two GP doctors. He got medicines from both clinics/hospitals but his condition didn’t improve much.

He was having a condition called foot drops. Most probably, due to palsy (paralysis) of a nerve (common peroneal nerve) at the back of his knees, the muscle of the front of his legs can’t work properly. Hence, he can’t flex (raising the foot) his ankle joint properly. His problem was more on the left side than the right one. There was numbness on the legs as well.

I saw the medicines he was taking already. I had nothing extra to offer him for the betterment. So, I suggested that he see a neurologist in a higher centre.

A YouTube video shows the example of a foot drop. Carefully look at the right foot movement of the patient in the video.

Why am I grateful to my Creator?
Because

I can walk smoothly, without any help from anyone and any aid. All the joints of my body are functioning properly, Alhamdulillah.

The problem the above-mentioned patient suffering from can happen to anyone of us, and can happen to me also. But, Allah has saved me from that suffering, Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

Thanks for stopping by.
