Brief Answer:
Osteoporosis. Needs dietary modification and medication
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
I can understand the problem your mother is facing. This is due to generalised weakness of the bones due to less bone mass called Osteoporosis.
This can cause generalised weakness, generalised bone pains, difficulty in walking and sitting etc.
It is important to give her diet rich in Vitamin D and Calcium like nuts, dry fruits, cheese, egg, yoghurt, fish oils, chicken and lean meat.
She must also get adequate sunlight exposure daily.
Also Vitamin D and Calcium supplements are needed like Tablet Shelcal CT twice a day for 2 months.
She can get an inexpensive yet accurate testing of her bone mass density by doing DEXA scan. This will quantitate her bone density and help in treatment.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Dr. Aashish Raghu
