Please Help – ISO Hip Specialist

I’m searching for a hip specialist for my Mom. A little back story on her: She is 66. She was hit by a car at 10 years old. I dunno the degree of the break but I do know she has said when she woke up under the car that hit her, she turned her head to the right and the bottom of her right leg was twisted around where she could see the bottom of her foot and where she had stepped on goat head stickers in the yard the day before. She did pretty good for a lot of years with minimal hip pain. But for the past 8 years or so, she can’t get around without crutches. She has no insurance and it’s not for lack of trying. We are currently waiting on some type of word from Medicaid. It’s heart breaking to see her suffer day and night at this point. Walking or sitting she hurts. Bedtime is an aching time as well. She basically has no relief. All she takes is Tylenol or Advil. I want to get her some help so badly. Is there anyone willing to read all of this and maybe point her (or me) in the direction that can get her to some kind of relief!? I can tell depression is getting to her. Not only from the death of my father, but being in agony all the time. I woke up tonight to her crying in her bed and saying “Please I don’t want to hurt anymore”. I’m becoming overwhelmed.

Is there anyone who can offer advice? A caring word? An uncle doctor that’s would be willing to help my Mom because their heart is made of gold? I’m an only child and my Mom is all I have left. I just want to be able to help her 😞
