Injury in leg muscles
My mother age 63 yrs fell down last week and had severe pain in upper left leg. She had knee xray but no bone injury found only some loose muscle injury found.
Please suggest how long it will take to recover and what all medicine she needs to take.

Body takes time to recover. Later she will need physiotherapy.

If the pain is still persistent after 1 week, she needs a check up by an orthopaedic surgeon.
Sometimes x-rays are normal after injury. There can be ligament or cartilage injury which shows up only in MRI scan.
Next Steps
Visit an orthopaedic surgeon.
