Exclamation rick...

I'm not sure what you are asking

My dad has ALZ and if he's not moving - when queried says "no my back doesn't hurt" But if we try to move him to sit in a chair - he cries out in pain. (When he isn't moving, he can't remember that he has back pain.)

I tell the nurses to give him his pain meds on schedule. You can't believe him when he says he has no pain -- he simply can't remember from one minute to the next.
