I would like to find something to help my friend. This individual has
been through many chemo treatments and had bladder and prostate removed
last summer. He is presently cancer-free. A few months ago he began to
complain (and he usually never talks about pain) of severe pain in his
legs. The condition has worsened. There was a blood-clot found and a
shunt placed in the leg. He now is in so much pain that he cannot stand
or sit. He only finds comfort in a fetal position on his left side. He
is weak from inactivity and depression. Local doctors have suggested
pain management, though he has been on morphine for several months
already. Is this a condition of peripheral neuropathy? Should he go to
an Anethesiologist (Pain Specialist) or a Neurologist? Thanks.
