Brief Answer:
Osteoarthritis

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I presume that she is suffering from osteoarthritis related to her age.

I suggest she can do hot fomentation with water, apply gel-like diclofenac gel gently without rubbing much.

she can also use ayurvedic pain oils for massage.

apart from that natural medications like curcumin (haldi) extract can be used for pain.

I hope that is helpful.

Regards.
