My mother is 81 years old. when she walks, after 10 minutes she felt pain in her hips. the x-ray said her bone density drop. how to remedy? thank you.

Spinal pathology: Pain in the buttocks, going down the legs after walking for awhile is commonly caused by arthritis in the spine, which presses on the nerves causing the pain. Low bone calcium (osteopenia or osteoporosis) can lead to bone fracture, commonly in the spine (compression fractures) or hip fractures, which hurt with both motion and weight bearing. Hip fracture pain is felt inthe groin.
