Hi All,
we have had a few problems with dad recently. Initially we thought he may have a bladder infection but antibiotics have not cleared it up. We have the GP out again soon and will hopefully get more idea of what is wrong and also get dad booked into a hospital for some tests.
He has pains around the groin and winces every now and then while clutching his bladder. As I say, it is best to get the medical professionals to take a look.
My question (the above was just a bit of history). Dad has also at the same time developed a list. The GP says that this may be related to his dementia and I've done a little research and this seems to be related to the latter stages of Alzheimer's.
I'm wondering if other people have come across their loved ones leaning to one side (it is from the hip up) OR if this could be something more serious related to his current medical problems?
Any information on your experiences greatly appreciated
thanks
Craig
