My mom was admitted to the hospital yesterday, She had fluid retension in one of her knees and blood accumulation in her other knee. Very severe swelling I was told, felt like both knees were about to explode. They drew the fluids and the blood out and gave her Platelet transfusion and other med to relief the severe pain she had.
My mom is 79 yo and was diangnosed with MDS in April 2009 but has had the MDS early last year.
Her hg is 12. She is on EPO and responding fine.
Do you think the low platelet count has caused the swelling in her knee and the internal bleeding in her other knee. Do you think the kidney has anything to do with that?
If you have had similar situation or heard of someone who had that, could you please let me know. I am so worried. My mom lives overseas and I am here in LA and not sure what is going on. Is this a complication of MDS. What would the outcome be? Please response.
Thank you,
Mona
