Hiii, first of all without examing the patient or evaluating it we can't decide what the problem is.
First step to take is tell her to avoid the thing which aggrivates the pain.
Second thing is take her to the nearest physiotherapy or orthopaedic clinic or hospital.
Go for further evaluations and then according to the reports any treatment will be decided or work properly
Next Steps
for further things u can consult us
Health Tips
avoid squatting and doing any kind of exercises without knowing the cause... as mother age group is need to be in concern... anything without knowing can harm her.
