I need help with something medical?!
Question: my mom has osteoporosis and Chron's disease which caused her broken back. She crushed 3 of her vertebra. she went and had surgery. The doctors took 2 of her ribbs to replace the 3 vertebra. To hold it in place they put 2 bolts and 5 plates in her back.
well that happened about 4 years ago. Now she is on almost any medication you can think of. It is slowly killing her. she has l life expectance of 2 to 5 years.
what should I do?

Be there to help her as well as cherish every moment you have with her. Use this time to tell her everything that she means to you & make as many memories as possible. Keep a journal for her to share with your kids one day. My father passed unexpectadly & I only wish I had more to share with my son about him. Let her know how much you love her. Help her tie up any loose ends that may be causing her distress. Encourage her to talk to you. God Bless you both. In my prayers.
RN & mom
Be there for your mom and make her as comfortable as possible.
There isn't much you can do other than find another Doctor to evaluate her health and medications. I agree over medication can be terrible. Good luck
