Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Her complaints seem to be related to the bone fracture and damaged nerves.
High blood pressure could be related to the pain or the painkillers that she is taking.
Coming to this point, I would recommend reduce salt intake, in order to have a lower blood pressure. If this doesn't help, anti-hypertensive therapy may need to be started until her blood pressure values will come back to normality.
For her gait problems, I would recommend consulting with a physiotherapist. It is the best thing she can do in this clinical situation, in order to walk again.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
