I'm sorry to hear that. Have looked over your mother's reports dated 4th June, 2022. I think you would have taken her to the doctor by now. If not, take her to an orthopedician or spine specialist as soon as you can. The MR spine report shows that her lower back has a bulging disc, but there is no nerve compression. There is a muscle spasm that goes along with it. That has to be taken care of. Second, she has been seen to have a lot of cholesterol build up in her lower limb blood vessels, which makes them very narrow. She should be taken care of by a vascular surgeon if possible. Also, make sure that her blood levels of cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D are all normal. She might also benefit from aspirin or another medicine that thins the blood. Don't give her any painkillers or other medicines that could potentially harm her kidneys even more.  Take steps to prevent further falls in the future.
