Age: 71 years Weight: 130 kg Height: 5 ft No diabetese or blood pressure Arthritis for the last 30 years and developed transverse meylitis in 2010 (recovered up to 70% by 2017). Since 2014 she is using a stand to walk a few steps and go to washroom.
Medicine in use: Dologab (1+1), Glupik (1 per day) Bone Health B (1 per day), Annuva (usually 1+1)
Problem: For the last 10 to 15 days, my mother is experiencing difficulty in standing up. This problem started when she sat on a couch for straight 4 hours as someone came to meet her. Her left thigh muscle got pulled and later she started to experience difficulty in standing up. Sometimes, she is able to stand up with ease while at other times she stands up after 3 to 4 attempts and walks with difficulty. However, her walk gets better after taking a few steps.
Now we are not letting her sit on that couch where her thigh muscle got pulled. We observed that her legs start to ache once she sits there for more
