Does pain get worse with Alzheimer’s, or is it the fact that maybe they feel it more? My OH has had an infection in his ankle, (I think he tore the skin on a bush), and he has had antibiotics, paracetamol and cream. It is slowly healing, and the Dr says because of his age,(81), and where it is, it will take longer to heal. But to hear him, You would think his leg was being taken off! He insists on touching it, then tells me it’s sore and he can’t stand it, but the Dr won’t give him anything, and it is slowly healing. What to do.
