Hi sir I think you're mom is elderly lady & she had been underwent surgery for some fracture in hip very long back so my advice is to get done fresh x ray to know the present status of fracture & implant, to know any arthritic changes, osteoporotic condition. She needs people physiotherapy under supervision with supplementation with calcium, protein to increase bone strength. Give mild pain killer like Ultracet. Kindly let me now how she feels after doing this. Thanks.
