My mother in law had a rod placed in broken femur 11 days ago.  She is 77 and the pain seems too severe to walk or do therapy. Therapists feel she should be walking the halls of the hospital. She can barely get to the door. Pain seems to have gotten worse at todays therapy session. Ideas on relief?  Thanks!
Respected User, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.* Pain is due to therapy under inadequate analgesia coverage where tissues are still in healing process and excess strain is exerted over it by means of therapy sessions.* What you can do is :@ Ask the Orthopedic Surgeon to give adequate analgesia round the clock.@ Should take adequate sleep of 8 hours.@ Adequate HY Chat Doctor. @ Physiotherapy sessions should be in concern of patient's response according to her age and internal response of the body as every patient's response to same therapy differs hugely.@ Prepare her mentally to bare some amount of pain during physio.@ High protein diet, multivitamins, multiminerals and oral calcium supplements help to regain general immune system as well as bone healing.@ Should avoid smoking / alcohol if at all consuming. Hope this clears your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor and reviewing my answer. Regards. Wishing her a fast and speedy recovery from the same. Bye Dear take care of her.
