Persisting pain in the lower left side.

2020-08-13 04:15:39
My mother is suffering from a persisting pain in the left hip,thigh and leg region. She is going through physiotherapy for the last 1 week. Although the pain has been lowered a bit in this one week of physio. The therapist said that it was due to muscle spasm in the left thigh and hip portion. She has been asked to take Zerodol MR and Diclowin Plus, to get a bit relief from the pain. But the pain increases early morning everyday. She is fully bed ridden but for gets up for her meals and sanitization. My name is Shouvik Roychowdhury and I am her only son.

The more she rests the more she will have the trouble. Make her active and ask the physiotherapist to teach stretching exercises for the spasm hip muscles. Sitting with left leg crossed is the reason. Also implement sitting ergonomics so that she sits properly and with equal weight distribution, at a good height and takes frequent breaks.
