Quote From: rendar2I am 23 years old & happily married. My husband & I live near both of parents & this has been such a blessing to both of us. The problem that I have been having is that my Dad, who is only 50 years old, has been having so many health problems lately. First his back was hurting, then his kidneys, then his neck,now his arm is hurting. There are many days that my dad physically can not get out of bed. He has lost nearly 40 pounds in the last 4 months. The doctors have run all kinds of tests & after many guessed diagnosis there are still no real answers as to what is wrong with him. I am so worried that there is something severely wrong with my dad and I just don't know what i would ever do if I were to lose him. It is killing me to think that I could lose the man who, besides my husband, means so much to me. It is killing me that there seems to be no immediate solution. That really is a scary situation, isn't it? Pain can be a terrible thing and very debilatating. Sometimes the source is very difficult to figure out, it can be a process of elimination and take many tests to actually find the right thing. My hubby was in severe pain and went to the emergency room twice and they misdiagnosed both times, sent him home with pain pills and antibiotics. Finally an MRI showed ruptured discs in his back and neck. A pain management clinic helped him get thru it. Rapid weight loss like that is scary too and should show them that something is very wrong. I hope they find out soon so he can receive treatment and not be in pain like that. Good luck.
