[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 816318, member: 2308"] I was just going to suggest that. Contrary to what Suzie Q said, she won't die if you don't get her on her feet every three times a day or even every day. We've had them down for over a week and we didn't get them up at all. We did rotate them side to side at least once a day, though. If you can lift her though, it would be a good thing. Sometimes they can get up on one side, but not the other, so that is some thing to think about. An anti inflammatory might be a good idea, if she has some swelling that is causing the pinched nerve, it will reduce it and maybe she will be able to get up. One other thing, if she is on a slippery (cement) surface, you might want to move her. If she does get up on cement or some other slippery surface, and her legs aren't working right, she is liable to do the splits, if that happens, that is it for her. Trust me I've seen it happen.
