My father has a crumbling spine he s had two operations and no further treatment can be given as they has removed as much as they can and have gone as deep as possible with out causing risks to my father. He is in soo much pain and has doubled up on morphine patches it s heart breaking watching him loose weight and become frail because of loss of appetite . Is there anything else he can try to give him pain relief without causing weight loss?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that your father is suffering from so much pain, and also has weight loss secondary to loss of appetite. At this stage, you should continue morphine patches. In addition, pregabalin capsules would be useful. Physiotherapy with IT, and ultrasound would also be useful. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
