She flew like a harpoon daily and nightly...


I'm really sorry OP! Assuming this isn't a troll post, I hope she is doing OK!

1. Mom has a potentially serious injury.
2. Seek medical advice on RFD.
3. Proud mom is proud.

Just put some tiger balm or A535 and mo cee la.

You did the right thing by posting on RFD as soon as this happened. Most people would have phoned an ambulance...

Post this question on more beauty and wellness forums to get more random ideas.

Your mother should have already seen a doctor - she could have seriously hurt herself. Your personal feelings are irrelevant. The real pain might not even have set in right away - if anyone has ever pulled a back muscle lifting a box they will know what I mean - the next day is murder. The OP's mother's situation is more serious. Age can certainly play a factor. Think of the older people in good heath who break a hip... heck, I am now in the danger zone.
