I am new here but have been posting about my Dad's diagnosis and treatment with AA. Now I have another question but didn't want to continue with the original thread.
Currently, my Dad is in the hospital being treated for a kidney infection and yeast infection. He is receiving platelets every other day and still receives the horse serum along with a host of other meds. My question is that my Dad is complaining of pain, so much pain infact that has extreme difficulty in moving around for comfort in the hospital bed. His care staff is giving him Loratab, etc. for his pain and discomfort. But what I want to know is this type of pain normal for AA patients and if so how long does it last? What can we do to help my Dad get comfortable? He is working with a hospital physical therapist to help with his aching joints but that just started yesterday. I hate seeing him like this...well at hearing that he is like this. (I don't get to see him, live to faraway).
Thanks for your help.
