My 89 year old mother recently was hospitalized for severe UTI, dehydration, low potassium level, which all resulted in her falling at night and not being found until the next day. Thankfully she has no broken bones and the UTI and low potassium, dehydration are all ok now. She was hospitalized for 2 weeks and is now in assisted living. She has had severe pain in her thigh which dr. says is sciatica irritated by the fall and lying on floor for hours. She is also complaining of rib and back pain. Nothing seems to be helping the pain. She is taking Lortab 7.5/325 mg, 1 tablet every 4 hours, has a Duragesic 12 mg transdermal patch every 3 days, and Lidoderm patch on 12 hours off 12 hours on her thigh for sciatica. With all of that why is she still in pain?
