My mom is experiencing side effects from a medicine (which she has finished taking), which has caused her tendinitis in her upper leg. Don't ask me to seek medical help because she already has. They said it should calm down within a few days, but in the meantime the pain relievers that she has been using---have not helped her situation. Anyone have any alternate solutions? She is is a lot of pain. She hasn't slept for 2 days and puts ice nonstop all day and it only decreases the pain momently. What can she do?
