Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In Back And Neck Of An Elderly Person
Question: My 91 year young mother is experiencing pain in the back or her neck and up the back of her head. She is also experiencing leg pain from a leg ulcer
Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Pain in the back and neck to her head at age of 91 is likely age related arthralgia common due to articular degeneration in old ages. Supportive care with NSAIDs, muscle relaxants , calcium supplements and bisphosphonates should be considered. The ulcer on the leg needs dressing and care for early healing and may need an antibiotic topically or orally to cover for the infections.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
