Hello,

It looks from your details that most probably your mother may be suffering either from post traumatic arthritis of knee or there are chances of having radiation of pain from back. There are some other remote chances of having stress fracture at leg.YOU should do following to have relief in this:
- Consult to your doctor and have a X-ray of affected part
- Continue to do exercises as advised but avoid high strengthening and full range of movement exercises
- Take a mild analgesic like tylenol to get relief from pain
- Give her some supplements like calcium, vitamin D and general multivitamins

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
