I believe it to be neurological this cluster of problems also she has now developed severe pain in her right foot and is in such excruciating pain she sleeps maybe 3 hrs tops each night the opiate pain meds are interfering with her breathing and has caused her to be placed on prednisone wich of course has caused weight gain thus further problems with her breathing and pain in foot what should she do ?

Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J.Mariano Anto Bruno Mascarenhas. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you.

In addition to prednisolone, we need to look at the status of Neuropathy. She may need drugs like Gabapentin, Pregabalin Etc
