I need help for my 83 year old mother

Please my mother who is over weight recently developed chronic pain on the out side of her thighs and it sometimes runs down the same path down to below the knee. Her skin has no rush or sores or anything it is clean, just that the pain is severe.....she suspects cellulitis but from what I have read, it has to be red and sore but she has none of that please help. Thank you. Via Dolorosa

Via Dolorosa,

Have your mom try using an ice pack on her lower back/tailbone area three times a day for three days. If that helps relieve the pain, then her problem is likely nerve related. Write back and let me know if that helps or not.

If it is nerve pain Borax may fix it. You can look up Ted's Borax remedy for arthritis on EarthClinic. Borax may work if she has bone or connective tissue loss in her spine, hips, etc. due to fluoride because the boron in the Borax helps remove fluoride from the body and manages calcium deposition. Taking boron supplement tablets would probably work just as well.

Good luck
