What is the treatment for artheritis in an elderly (90) woman?

This is regarding my mother- 90 - who has artheritis ( the leg artheries are closing) - she has lately had numbing sensations in the plant of her foot along with intermitent pain. Whenever she can, she takes hour -=long walks ( with short stops).

Is surgery - applying stents ? - available at her age?

What can be done?

Thank you,

Liliana

Thanks for your question Lilliana. I think you mean arthritis. If so you can view our material at the MyRACentral.com. As always, you should check with your mom's doctor to see what might be possible.

All the best, sue (moderator)
