Suggest Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Legs And Arms
Hi, on Easter Sunday my mother had a stroke and fell and broke her hip and broke her hand. She spent about 2 months in a hospital and then was transfered to a skilled nursing facility. She came home about 1 monthe ago and she still cannot go to the bathroom by herself, and now her feet legs and arms are filled with fluid. We took her to the ER in Cortez Colorado and they said her regular Dr. would have to admit her, and her regualr Dr. said that the ER doctor would have to admit her. She is in extreme pain and the swelling has not gone down. They said to cut down on the lasik by half.
