Leg Pain- Back side
My mother is having severe pain in her left leg from hips till her toes and she often says that she feels as if some nerve or something gets tightened at the back side of her entire left leg and she feels unable to even walk. I have met good orthopaedician of my city and they have prescribed treatment for osteoporosis, pain etc and what not but still she feels she is not getting the right treatment and her pain stills troubles her a lot. Please advice me the right treatment for her.

Wall calf stretch
⢠Stand about two feet away from a wall. Place the ball of your right foot against the wall while your heel remains on the ground. Slowly and gently lean into the wall while keeping your knee straight. Hold this for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times twice a day.
