as stated, apparently his spine films at the time did not pick it up. we admitted him to the hosppital so he could be evaluated.

  The key here, Paula, might have been the compression fx. It could have been mets at that point causing it. With a previous hx of prostate cancer and a compression fx, a work-up should have been done at that time.

He was failing in his apt so we put him in asst living-had a lot of muscle pain, was incontinent since prostate surgery, was bowel focused and needed help stooling. The pred nisone we started last week pretty much eliminated his pain, but his legs were weaker r>l, dev foot drop. that is when we admitted him. CXR shows a cavitation in a lung, ct scan shows his manubrium almost eat up (never c/o pain there), a mass in the kidney and maybe liver, and in his spine!

That pt I asked for info on PMR about (and got the only list reply: send to rheumatology) -he dev foot drop so he was admitted to the hospital--has mets! what a shock. we came to like this guy, and care about him-it is just stunning news.
