She then went on an ayurvedic (ancient Indian methods) medicines. These did help and she has been fine. But recently the pain has begun to come back.

And it is going to get worse for seniors because the mood in this country is increasingly Marxist: If you're not useful, we don't need you. No matter that seniors have already helped build this country in their younger years, no matter - if they can't produce now, they are expendable. That increasingly is the attitude of our govt.

Avatar m tn There are physicians that specialize in the care of seniors, usually beginning at 55. They are called Gerontologist. I have seen them preform near miracles in our senior population. I encourage you to have your mom evaluated by one. Check his or her credentials on line. Like in all specialties there are good and not so good ones. I'm sorry I cannot provide you with a specific name. I know they are out there.
Avatar f tn The campaign says Obama is willing to work with anyone who has good ideas about long-term care, and that Medicaid and Medicare will continue working to help seniors who want to stay in their own homes, instead of going into nursing facilities. But Novelli said paying for long-term care remains a huge problem for middle-class elders and their families. Obama "may have to punt, they may not want to go there," said Novelli.

Avatar f tn For the last three years following one of my 3 foot surgeries I have had pain in my left hip. Over the past year My Doctor has treated me for Bursitis with cortisone injections and spinal block but to no avail. The pain is now in my entire left leg, left shoulder and arm along with headaches on the left side of my head and neck. My profession is equestrian/trainer and it has become increasingly more difficult to work with the horses. When I ride if I ride for over two hours I am in tears!

1536712 tn?1294043301 I have also heard that this is common in fibromyalgia - but fibromyalgiasymptoms generally fits my condition very well! So I'm not sure - either I have that as well, or VDD mimics fibro very much. I'll talk to my doctor about this next time I see her.
Avatar f tn Hello! My left leg is hurting from the knee to the hip. The bend of the leg or pelvic area hurts to walk. I have fibromyalgia. This pain just started about a week ago. I can't sleep on either side. I have to sleep on my back. If I sleep on my back to long it starts to hurt. I was told I have three fibroid tumors. Can they be the pain I am having or can it be something else. The pain is severe!!!!!!! What can I do?
773755 tn?1328119777 It is much more common in women, and it can be debilitating. Many conventional medical doctors do not think that fibromyalgia exists. In fact, many patients who believe they have this condition are often derided by their doctors. One reason many conventional doctors do not think fibromyalgia is a “real” condition is that no specific medication is effective for treating this illness. Some medications do help lower the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
