She had surgery that was supposed to relieve her pain. She has been told to "go get an MRI and go for physical therapy" but the pain is so intense I've been unable to transport her. I truly believe she needs intense rehabilitation, but how do I accomplish this?
I would be surprised if her doctor has not mentioned the cause to her. Do you attend the doctor visits with her?
When I recently inquired about physical therapy for my cousin, who has severe dementia and who is now mainly in a wheelchair, the doctor said that Medicare would only cover physical therapy on her legs, if there was an expectation of her regaining her ability to walk. I know, it sounds bizarre. Have they said anything like that?
