Hello,
This needs direct consultation with detailed history, review of old papers, reports, xrays. Considering that she has many conditions it wont be advisable to give her medication without knowing exact details. I would recommend you to consult me online on Practo.
Next Steps
Consult directly with me, your orthopaedic doctor, through Practo for detail history, discussion and treatment plan. Here we can chat or can also do audio or video consultation for detailed management. Take appointment for thorough prescription and consultation
