my dad, 84, recently fell and twisted his knee badly. a few days later he was in extreme pain and went to hospital. it was diagnosed as gigantic hematoma from his knee up his thigh. he was there 5 days and is now at a rehab but still in pain and still very swollen. black and blue coloration is appearing now in other places , rightside above his waist and into his groin area.
no pain in those places. he can't do any physical therapy at the moment.
still taking vicodin. not eating much. nothing they can do.
it hurts me so to see him like this. i go everyday and try to make him eat.
any suggestions???? how long will this take????
i did read something that says months???? He is now off coumadin but cardiologist says he is stroke risk. do we put him back on?????
what a dilemma.
help!!!
