Hi!
I appreciate your concern for the elderly lady who is taking valium.
The common side effects of valium include drowsiness, forgetfulness, impairment of judgement, physical and psychological dependence.
Regarding her leg pain, valium does not reduce the pain.
The cause for her leg pain should be found out
Consult a doctor for proper evaluation.
