What Is The Cause For Pain In Ischial Tuberosity With Weight Loss And Cellulitis?
Hi Doctor, my grandmother who is 82 has on and off pain I believe in the Ischial Tuberosity on the left side, described as "throbbing" and she is unable to go up her stairs. She also has a swollen right foot that was diagnosed as Cellulitis, but has not gotten completely better. She has arthritis and osteoporosis, and has lost weight; she is very thin and it scares me. She works too hard around the house and I am going to try and help her by stretching her hamstrings and periformis and test her strength. I know her hip muscles are weak. (I am a PT Assistant grad)What do you think is going on?
Hi, this seems to be due to degenerative changes took place due to osteoporosis in bones and muscles giving this problem. Give her calcium, vitamin A and D supplements daily. give her nourishing diet. Ok and take care.
