Happy 2022, everyone.
I've looked on the forums and found nothing specific to my husband's issue. His bum is sore all. the. time. He has a Roho cushion, properly set up for his body weight and size, and he cannot sit in his wheelchair for more than a couple of hours. As well, he gets incredibly uncomfortable in his recliner. His lower back hurts, his bum hurts, and his hip hurts. No matter what I try, cushions, creams, or whatever, nothing works to get him comfortable.
Also, I think his left side oblique muscles are atrophied because he now always tilts to the left. Is this a thing with the core muscles in ALS? One side at a time? That seems to be the side of his body with the worst pain. Suggestions?
TIA.
