What help can I get?

by TinkPink, May 22, 2008 09:02AM
Hi, my mum about 3 years ago hurt her back whilst carrying a box. This made her back and neck spasm she then lost the use holding her arms in the air or behind her back.

Doctors just gave her pain killers, but did no help-Then her face swelled up and neck with fluid, from pressure?
In the last year she has gone blind, as the hosiptal said the blood supply to the optic nreve is compramised.

I do not know where else to go and it is very upsetting to watch her like this, the doctors do not know what to do with her and she is only 58.

Does anyone have any idea's of what is best to do or what it could be, she has had MRI scan ect, but nothing is picked up from this?????????

Except blind,does she suffer from weakness and/or numbness on one side of the face or in one arm or leg.  difficulty talking ,loss of coordination, dizziness,difficulty swallowing?
if so,the best choice is medical procedures in reputable hospital,alternative med does't work for this.Take care!
