Suggest Treatment For Painful Fractured Pelvis

I say a NSAID pain reliever should tried. Because of her age, would doctors be hesitant to use NSAID type pain relievers?
Demerol has failed.
Thanks...... XXXXXXX

Hello
Thanks for posting.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.My suggestion for her are as following-
1.Rest,support the limb in whatever position she is comfortable,Pelvic compression belt helps by giving support to Fracture pelvis.
2.Give her liquid to semiliquid diet which is easily digested at her age.
3.She may have pain killer parcacetamol and tramadol, a safe pain killer available in oral/ Injectable form.
To understand better please upload/send the x-ray picture.
To sum up pelvic belt is the main treatment and is suplemented by pain killer.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any furher query.
