My dad

My dad is 85 and has lost a lot of weight this past year. He is skin and bones and real weak. He had pain in his right elbow and shoulder and could not get a diagnosis. His pain became hard to bare. Finally a doctor diagnosed rh arthritus but could not control his pain, so we switched doctors. this doctor thought he might have tb or lung cancer. He removed 1600 cc's of fluid off his right lung. He said he thought the pain was referred pain from the lung. He got dad's pain under control with a duragesic patch 75 and lyritra at night. but he is still very weak. He also has night sweats. I talked with the nurse a few minutes ago and she said the tb test was negative. Does anyone out there have any idea. God bless, James
