Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
On Medicines For Atrial Fibrillation, Congestive Heart Failure. Fell A Lot While Walking. Suspecting Spinal Stenosis. Opinion?
My mother, whom had been very active and healthy her entire life, discovered about a year ago that she was suffering from Afib and congestive heart failure. She began taking Renexa and Coumadin, and almost Immediately had difficulty walking and fell a lot. She now walks with a walker and still has difficulty because her legs are palsied and weak, the doctors diagnosed it as spinal stenosis. I dont agree with this diagnosis because she was diagnosed with spinal stenosis several yeRss ago and didn't have any problems walking. Once in awhile her hip hurt and she would lie on a heating pad for relief. The failure to walk and the palsy occurred simultaneously with being medicated.
as if you diagnosed as spinal stenosis the pain and walking increase when age increases and as there are also side effects of medicines she is taking but as medicines cant be stopped so the problem increases in old age slowly both age effect and medicine effect and immunity effect can use physiotherapy local ointmenys and muscle relextants to ease sowhat
