So Dad was okay at his physical... they think his complaints of his whole right side shutting down and he is going be disabled may be a nerve or disc problem. They are suggesting therapy to try and work out the kinks. He doesn't want to do that. I suggested he try 2 sessions.

I asked if he should loose weight and they said would be good. The doc also thought that he doesn't drink enough water and that maybe the cramping could be because he is not drinking enough water and drinks too much coffee and tea. Not sure about that, but based on the fact that Dad just has varicose veins there isn't much wrong.... accept I think he wanted attention....


I will need to wait and see what the blood work shows to know more.

I hope they can sort out your dad. Sometimes it's a simple fix even if the symptoms are sometimes complicated. A bit of weight loss never goes amiss :)

Water, and that good old potassium. Does he have bananas with breakfast? Those are good potassium sources.
And maybe you can convince him that therapy would be a fun, and a nice diversion. I had some lower-back treatment once and it was relaxing. :)
