Hi again all.
I'm getting very concerned about my husband, his pain is getting far worse and it seems things are changing so quickly.
The electric type shocks he is getting from his feet and up his legs is much stronger, bringing tears to his eyes at times.
The electric shocks are becoming more constant in his arms and hands. When he is sleeping he rubs his hands together quite a lot and moans loudly some times when he stretches his arms.
Since Monday he has been in bed almost unable to walk at all as the pain is so intense. I have to take him to the bathroom as his balance can be unsteady. For the last two days when he has been urinating the flow is stopping involuntary.
This afternoon he has started getting the electric shocks in his shoulder joint, which is making him cry out.

The occupational therapist came out to see him yesterday for the first time. After her assessment she has suggested he use a wheel chair outside and a stick in the house along with other aids.

Our Dr came out to see him today, he has increased his pregabalin to 300mg in the morning and 300mg at night. He has also told him to take 2 x 30mg dihydrocodeine and alternated them three hourly with 2 x 37.5 tramadol.
The Dr was going to fax a letter this afternoon to the neurologist to see if they can bring his appointment forward.
It's so difficult to have to watch my hubby in so much pain, and it's also affecting our children.
