Severe Scpliosis, Diabetic, On Coreg And Norvasc. Thoughts On Temporary Trial Of Hormone Replaement Estrodiol Therapy ?

Thanks, I am a health professional just looking up patieint medications to ensure I have all the diagnosis covered. but nice to know o the service.

On second thought, what is your take on a temporary trial of hormone replaement estrodiol therapy in an elderly 87 yr old female in severe pain ( severe scpliosis) duiabetes controlled for over 40 years, BP fairly controlled on Coreg and Norvasc, on Fentynyl, and lyrica and poercoset to improve strength and overall mentation as well as ameliorate pain. I am her daughter and am in surgical menopause from endometriosis for 27 years now and know the general pain relief and cognitive improvement the estridiol injedtion provides esp when over due. I went from " near complete ability to function to normal overnight after getting my injetion yesterday. i had mided it last month 8 weeks since last injection...( just busy with work and being a cargiver and for got the injection blaming my extreme fatigye and . malaise on everything else.. I think if Mom could get an estridiol injection it woudld help her feel a whole lot better even if only three timew a year or so..What o you think ??

Hi, for a woman, of age 86 years you are not expected to try estradiol, for pain relief. with out testing the uterus and cervix and breast it is not advisible to try the estediol, as it may increase the possibility of flaring the malignancy if it is there in dormant stage. Thank you.
