Hi, From the history you have provided, it looks that your Mother-in-Law is suffering from Costo-chon Chat Doctor. I would advise you to get an MRI of the painful area, telling the Radiologist to be specifically see for the painful-tender area. This will confirm the diagnosis. I would suggest the following treatment.-Rest to the area by means of strapping with the Adhesive tapes during the deep Expiration phase. This will limit the movement, reduce the pain and give rest for healing to occur.-Anti-inflammatory medicines in full dose as per the weight.-Steroids if required for its strong anti-inflammatory role. This sort of treatment helps all my patients. And should help you too. You can get this confirmed by your treating Doctor or search for any other cause.
