Thank you for using HCM. I suggest you get a orthopedic consultation done. Further evaluation is needed like X-ray to rule out any fracture and if needed MRI. Another thing to be kept in mind is her age. Elderly women suffer from calcium, vitamin D deficiency leading to osteoporosis that is weakening of bones. Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation may be started after a blood work up of serum calcium and vitamin D3 levels.
