Suffering From Alzheirmer. Noticed A Bump On Leg Close To Buttock. Any Idea?
My mother who is almost 89 has a bump on her right leg close to her buttock. She is suffering from Alzheirmer s Disease and she got out of the house about 3 weeks ago. I think that the bump is due to a fall that she might have had, because she had a black and blue on her right ear when she was found on the street . I didn t know about the bump on her leg until yesterday that she showed me and told me that it hurt a little. What do you think it is?. Im taking her to the doctor tomorrow, but Im worried and would like to get an idea today. Thank You Very Much, Nancy Diaz

hello
As you have told your mother is a patient of alzheimers diseases
alzheimers patients are at a constant risk of accidental injuries, meaning the injuries that the patient doesnt know
Most probably the bump is due to falls the alzheimer patients have
Nothing to worry about , must be a collection of blood at buttock area , must be big, as lot of fats are there in buttock
Get pain killer creams , and observe your mother body after bath for any accidental injuries
The bump will disappear after some time
Hope this helps
