PKR Continuous pain 9 months after surgery.

[PawelR]

Yes, but this doctor came and only had in mind: coronavirus, coronavirus, coronavirus. My mother's leg hurts, and she: coronavirus, coronavirus and coronavirus. Nothing is writing anymore, because there is nothing to talk about.

I do not know anything about the healthcare system in Poland. In the US, there are people known as ombudsman who advocate for patients and their families when they encounter obstacles to care. Are there any such persons in Poland that you could reach out to for assistance in getting your mother the care she needs?

 

[PawelR]

Could any of you explain to me again, because I'm still browsing this forum and haven't found a case similar to my mother yet. It's about her knee now. I read stories of people who cannot bend their knees, have swelling and pain. And yet, they try to live a normal life, but most of all they seek help from surgeons. My mom can bend this knee, she can walk, and she can even walk fast. And yet, he says he still feels pain. Even when he doesn't do anything. Even when it lies. How is this possible? What can I hurt there? All the time? She had an x-ray, an ultrasound, the doctors looked at her leg and said that everything was fine. But she says it hurts that she can't take it anymore. But she don't want to go to the doctor with this. I do not understand this. She is probably the only such case. I'm starting to think he's faking it. And when he wants to take her to a surgeon, he says that she has no strength. I'm already dumbfounded. Why a man who suffers from pain does not seek help?? And he rejects the help someone offers him. Why?

Why a man who suffers from pain does not seek help? And he rejects the help someone offers him

@PawelR Your posts are totally confusing, you say your mother is in pain in one paragraph, the next you talk about "he" and finally you say "why
a man suffers from pain does not get help."
Are all these the same people ?
Many people have given you plenty of good advice yet you continue to ignore the advice. Unless you insist on taking your mother to see a doctor /specialist even if she doesn't want to go. There is nothing any of us can help you with.

Unlike English, Polish does not have articles. In English we indicate gender with the article but Polish does it with endings on the nouns, which English does not have.

I think you should just read he and she as equivalent and read the gender from context.

I think the poster is referring to their mother sometimes when they say ‘he’.

@PawelR Your poor mother! You are trying so hard to help her and get care for her. She may not know it but she is very fortunate to have a son like you! Since she is not listening to you or her doctor is there anyone else she would listen to? Another relative? A minister or priest? A close friend? You may need to ask others she knows and respects to come together and help you persuade her to get the help she needs. It sounds to me like she is quite depressed and may be unable to make good decisions for herself.

I mean her. I write about her all the time. But because I do not know English well, sometimes I do not compose sentences well. At the moment my mother is in a psychiatric hospital because she was in serious condition. She wasn't eating, she wasn't sleeping, she was drinking little and just lying. She stays there overnight. We'll see what happens next. It was supposed to repair the knee, and there is a horror and a tragedy.

@PawelR It is good to hear she is getting some help now! I will send up prayers that the doctors at the psychiatric hospital will be able to help her

Don't worry about the language difficulties -- I'm sure we can figure things out.

It is a sad fact that many people having a joint replacement surgery are not full informed before hand about how painful and long the recuperation from that surgery can be. We have seen that happen many times here at BoneSmart.

I'm glad you were able to get your mother into a hospital for evaluation. Hopefully you'll know more soon about what's going on and what options you have for help.

 

[Rubyroo]

@PawelR Praying for you & your Mother! You are a caring Son & she is blessed to have you in her life. I hope you both will know more soon. Stay strong!

Little update: Mom was released from the hospital on Wednesday, February 9. She's back to normal, but she's on antidepressants. But she is already feeling well - she is sleeping, eating and drinking, and most importantly, her leg does not hurt anymore and the feeling of a tight band has disappeared. Thanks again to everyone for your help. You are loved. I wish you all good health. Greetings.

So glad that you finally resolved your mothers problems and that she is much better. Wishing you good health.
