Dad Update- 2

So today I took dad to the urologist. After a brief but thorough exam, its been officially decided that his pain is in no way caused by his prostate, or anything else located in that part of the body that a urologist has domain over. This doctor believes that it is something for an orthopedic doctor to take a look at, possible a muscle tear, or bad strain. In the afternoon dad called his GP again, she prescribed him some pain killers/ anti-inflammatory and will be getting him set up to see yet another doctor. I went and picked up his new medications and after a time they finally started to work, but not without some major complaints on his part. As the meds kicked in he was once again in major pain, mostly due to the manipulations on the part of the urologist, and an upset stomach- not enough food and lots of new meds combined in not a good way. We may need to put back the colonoscopy, depending in when he gets into an orthopedic. And its probably time to start looking at Workman's Comp just incase this is a slipped disc or something…
