Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Timo/Anne, Ned had/has pain in his lower back and legs. He takes an anti-inflammatory (Motrin or Naprosyn) for pain (tried Narcotic type pain relievers years ago, but they didn't help at all). Ned's back pain stems from a couple of things -- constantly sitting in a chair (years ago) and now lying in bed all the time. However, several years ago when he was still " up and about " he was in the hospital for about 10 days -- fever of >101 degrees of unknown origin (No pneumonia, no Urinary Tract Infection, etc.). It turned out that he had kidney stones, but not an actual infection that was picked up by lab tests -- took x-rays and a CT scan to show the stones! He eventually had to have lithotripsy. After that, his back pain was considerable less. If all else proves negative, they might want to check for k. stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
