my wife is a type 1 diabetic (40 years) and has in the past year had two stents due to 98 and 95% blockage and had hormonal breast cancer 10 years ago ( lumpectomy and radiation . She has been complaining about pain in your right flank. She is anurse by background and does not complain unless she has a real problem. Any suggestons or advice?
Hi, you should have done the baseline investigations first. You are stating about a varied medical problem. So simply based on this history it is difficult to comment on. You should mention her glycemic control. Pain in right flank may be due to appendicitis also. So it is important to assess the patient clinically. An abdominal ultrasound may also be helpful. Consult your doctor.
