It's been a rough couple of weeks for Mom and Dad. After being sent home from the ER (re: the last post), the pain killers and muscle relaxers didn't seem to do the trick. In fact, they just seemed to knock Mom out. Dad was unable to get her in to see her orthopedic doctor so she went back to the ER last Saturday, March 27th. Once again, they sent her home with more pain meds saying it must be muscular. Thankfully, Daddy didn't accept this and kept pushing her doctors to see her or at least truly find the root of her pain. Her vasculitis doctor spoke with her orthopedic doctor and they agreed that Mom most likely has a fracture that just wasn't detected by the x-ray. Her bone density problems make it difficult for x-rays to pick up fractures.
Mom is having a catscan today at 11am. Please pray that they find what is causing her so much pain.
