Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks to those who replied to my first post. Haven't had time to reply...I know you can all relate. My mom was just dx'd and we are still in the the learning stages. She lives alone, 1500 miles from here. She is doing reasonably well. Today she is telling me she has significant pain in her spine from her neck down to her tailbone. She thought it was related to a rotator cuff tear/bone spur that she has but her orthopedist says it isn't. She can't get ahold of her neurologist. She is calling her primary now. Pain hasn't been an issue per se, but she has had fybromyalgia in the past. She is starting to get a headache. Related or not related to LBD. She isn't on any meds yet and not sure what if anything she can take for pain at this point or if she needs to be seen by someone ASAP. She is going to go to her primary, but not sure that is the right place or not. The one thing I have picked up from reading here is to not take any meds without checking first. We'll need to know what to do to manage this " episisode " as well as how to confirm that the ansesthesia and pain meds for upcoming rotator cuff injury. Thanks. I appreciate the information that is shared on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
