ugh I know not CC but still need HELP

[Guest guest]

Ladies and gents as yall know my mom is on chemo for lung cancer , she just

started Tuesday , now then , she is having the body aches from chemo something

Horrible!!

She has badly mangled legs from being hit by a car as a teen ( screws, steel

plates, almost one leg amputated etc )

She has been up allllllllllll night long crying with the pain in her knee ,on

her scar area, mom DOES NOT cry with pain!! so it has to be BAD!!

we have tried tylenol , ben gay , heating pad , nothing is touching it , we have

put a call into the oncologist office to see if they will write a script for

pain meds.

In the meantime is there anyyyyyyyything else we can do?

We have even given her a dose of Bennie's liquid Vicodin ( I know I know but

when the pain is that bad willing to try ANYTHING)

She cant soak in the tub, her legs dont bend to let her climb into one .

Any suggestions
