Location: Montauban, South France
Area(s) affected: Right shoulder and arm
Personal History:
My mum got diagnosed 6 years ago. It started underneath the right shoulder blade
but soon the shoulder and the arm were also affected. After seeing a few doctors
and not being able to stop the pain; my mum decided to go to Toulouse (big city
next to Montauban) and by doing an x-ray the doctors discovered a mark on the
arm bone. To try to stop the pain, my mum is taking a lot of medication
(hopefully the names will make sense!!) : actiskenan but also ocycontint and
when she is really in pain actiq. It seems like since she has been taking
these medication she doesn't suffer so much but by using morphine she is losing
her sight and has difficulties to hear properly from her right ear. I don't
think at this stage that there is much to do as the doctor doesn't know how to
treat this disease however I hope one day she will be able to recover and enjoy
life like before.
