Your friend may need lots of help for a while.
Hi, I would like to know what and where your moms pain is? My daughter who is severly mentally challenged has expierenced chrinic pain,urinary retention,
chronic constipation and the list goes on. The doctors will not help us because she can not talk to tell where her pain is. I feel so sad inside to watch this and not help.
