A member asked:
Grandma never tells pt when she is hurting. she wants to please them. what should i say?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go with her to PT: Grandma is lucky to have you. Physical therapists need honest feed back from patients in order to guide the therapy and/or refer them back to their md if there is no improvement/worsening. Talk to grandma and see if she is comfortable in having you go with her to one of her therapy sessions to be her advocate.
