Renal Failure, Pain In Legs And Back. Treated For Depression And Diagnosed For Dementia. Suggestion?
I have a mother who has been misdiagnosed/ not diagnosed with co poisoning, even though she had been exposed for more than 2 years. She has been treated for depression and diagnosed with dementia. with no history prior .Her she is declining quickly with all the signs of renal failure. yet no one wants to listen. Rhabdomyolysis seems clear with all her weakness and now unable to walk because of the heaviness and pain in her legs .and back. what to do?

Hi, Your mother has been treated for depression and dementia. she is declining quickly, your doubt is CO poisoning and renal failure. now she has heaviness and pain in legs,and back.
The main symptoms of renal failure are puffy face, generalised oedema, breathless ness.
if these are present you can consult a nephrologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
