Falls

My father in law has PSP diagnosed in March 2020.When he falls he never feels pain, even when he cut his head and went to hospital.

Is this part of the PSP progress.

Thank you

My mom had PSP and was the same... When she broke her wrist... she said it was fine... doctor confirmed it was broken... she insisted it was fine... doctor fixed it anyway... Same with her broken hip! Sending Hugs of Encouragement...Granni B

Thank you for your reply. Family cant understand how he never feels anything but did think PSP played a part in that.

PSP is a difficult disease to understand... l am sure this site will help you as much as it has helped me. You won't find a more informed & understanding group of kind folks anywhere. Sending hugs. . . Granni B

Same thing, my mom would fall and be injured—scalp wounds, broken facial bones, broken wrist, hip bruises—no pain. Though she did get seem to get backaches.

My husband is the same. I call him iron man. He is black and blue from his regular falls but never complains so it does seem from reading your posts that it is due to the illness....nature helping them cope!!
