First, let me say that I'm glad that there is nothing seriously wrong with your iguana. Having said that.......

Tell you what, TB...The next time something is wrong with YOU i.e., not feeling well, bones sticking out of your arm/leg, whatever the case may be.... You come right back to us and we'll tell you what to do in order to fix the problem instead of going to a doctor....We'll save you a few bucks... Promise...
Honestly, anyone who foregoes professional veterinary/medical advice in favor of what ANY person on the internet recommends, whether they claim to be a qualified vet/doctor/plumber/nuclear engineer deserves whatever they get. HOWEVER, in the case of this person's pets, it is not at all fair to the pet. You go right ahead and listen to whomever you want. That's your prerogative. But DO NOT ever cry to me that anything is ever wrong with you or any of your pets ever again. I have absolutely no respect for someone who would choose an anonymous "diagnosis" of a potentially serious condition from someone that they have never seen or met especially when that person has not even seen the condition first-hand regardless of how well the conditoin is described.
And if it wasn't "that serious" then why did you bother posting the problem ? You obviously know far more than everyone else out here does....
I shudder to think of the future of any other pets that you may own...Short as it may be...
