Answer:
All I can think of is fibromyalgia and that can't be diagnosed as it doesn't show up in any dang medical tests and that's what drs go by.Is your mom on any meds like high blood pressure or cholesterol? Those can cause pain, weakness and fatique.
oxycodone/hcl 80mg twice a day
can you get her into a bathtub? a warm bath might help.
If she hasn't been screened for autoimmune diseases, she should be.
i am sooo sorry. you should spend as much time with her as you can. i don't have an answer for what else you can do. sorry.
I am so sorry. from professional experience, it seems like you mom may be suffering from fibromyalgia. it is really detailed but as i said it really sound like that. I hope and pray that you can get the right help. please get some really great help for your mom. it touches my heart that you are so concerned to asl that question. the best of luck to you and i will say a prayer for you.
Tell her doctor to have her try "Klonopin." I believe it's a wonder drug, and the doctor will have no problem giving it to her. It's for pain, depression, and anxiety. He probably won't give her enough. So when she tries it, if one pill doen't work, it is perfectly fine for her to take two or three. Once my doctor said "take 10!!"
saffie it sounds like your mother has what i have and it is not detectable by tests. I have been living in this kind of pain for years and some days are OK and some can be "unbearable" and it is called "Fibromyalga" and please tell her doctor about this because they can put her on "muscle relaxers%26anti-depressants" and i know it can be expensive but if she could get a "deep tissue" massage at least once a month it will help her because this disease is in all of your body tissue and some people say that 'acupunture" works also and maybe her insurance can cover most of this .i know what it feels like to be in so much pain and not being able to afford to do anything about it!i wish you lots of luck and may god bless you all and "heal' your mother!! Sincerely,LINDABUG!!
Find a pain clinic in your area. They will have more options for dealing with her pain. Go back to her doctor and tell him the pain management is not working, and she needs to change medications. You do not want her feeling too 鈥榙rugged up鈥?that she can鈥檛 function, but you do not want her in pain either. The doctor can鈥檛 adjust her medication if he doesn鈥檛 know that his first prescription is not working.Get you mom to a local senior center that has water aerobics for the elderly. Keeping her moving will help with the pain, and being in the water will ease the stress on her joints. Check out her bed, is it old? A new mattress with proper support will help with her pain during the day.
I guess only pain killers could help at this stage. there are doctors who specialize in pain management.
