Brief Answer:
No major bone pathology
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The Xray show no major changes in the spine or hip. There is no bone deformity except minimal changes in the vertebrae. The pain your mother has is due to soft tissue swelling secondary to inflammation combined with nerve pain. Unfortunately this does take time to get resolved. 3 to 4 weeks on an average.
Dr Tripati the orthopedician has given very good medication. I would recommend you to give her the same and wait patiently. She will recover soon.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
