She has severe pain in groin and has had it for almost two months, all she does is cry in severe pain and has had every test known to man kind. They are saying now it’s from her bad back but the neurosurgeon said he won’t touch her back because it is so bad. My sister and I are at our wits end in knowing where or what to do. Her bones are literally crumbling.
If the person is still mobile enough, a hot bath/shower or a hot whirlpool bath often helps too. Again not too hot, elderly skin is delicate and burns easily. My sister-in-law with RA recently got a walk in tub with a whirlpool and says it helps a lot. but she is in pain a lot these days because her medication has been cut by 75%. Gentle massages and range of motion flexion can help RA too.
She needs to be on some serious pain meds, ASAP!
Surgery is scary as heck at these ages, too. So risky in so many ways. My two cents, and I do not post much.
Good Luck
