Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother is 82 and has alzheiers. She is in a Nursing Home. They told me she had cellulitis and put her on antibiotics. Now they are saying she has a torn muscle/tendon. This was caused by either lifting her or changing her clothes. They will only give her Tylenol and that has been her only form of treatment. I asked if I should send her out for a CAT SCAn or MRI. They said no that this in not necessary. I asked to put her on ibuprofen. So far they will only give her Tylenol. What can I ask for to ease her pain.
