How To Treat Pain In A Person Suffering From Paralysis And Cancer?
My uncle was diagnose with leukemia and after chemo was told he was cancer free. After being hoem for only 13days he had to be rushed to the hospital because of chronic pain. He is now paralysed from waist down and taking morphine. The last we heard is that cancer had somehow reached his spine which is what caused paralysis. Based on your experiece does my uncle have hope he is under lots of pain and medication is not helping. He gets it every 2hrs

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your uncle is suffering from metastatic cancer. It is terminal stage illness. Hope of survival is very low. What we can do is just symptomatic treatment. Tramadol or othetr morphinr based painkillers can be given to releive pain. No othet treatment will help him.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
