My grandmother is about 80 yrs old with diabetes. she knocked her knees together getting out of bed and is having a hard time walking. what can we do?

Needs to see Doctor: If she is having difficulty standing and/or walking she needs to be seen urgently and to have an x-ray if indicated. The risk of a fracture in this scenario is very high.
