Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and concerns for your mother.
Read and understood that your mother is 80 years, not living in USA and has pain under her feet and legs.
May I please know few more details as you may be definitely knowing:
Since when has she got this problem?
Does she have diabetes or any other medical problems?
What are the medicines has she tried?
Any other relevant information that can add to my knowledge.
You can tell her the following:
If she has diabetes or any such disease or disorder that causes neuritis and such pains, she needs the specific medicines like amitriptyline/ pregabalin or gabapentin/ tegritol or so. Since all these medicines are prescription medicines, she can certainly discuss with her Doctor to get the appropriate medicines. Routine painkillers do not help in such cases.
If she has local problems like cellulitis, or anything related to the veins and so, the treatment will be different.
Hence it is imperative that She should consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation, actual examination, investigations to come to a proper diagnosis so that a specific treatment will help her to get a relief or cure.
I hope this answer help you and your Mother, please feel free to give me feedback.
