How To Treat Constant Aching In Leg Radiating Towards Knee?

My 70 year old aunt broke her hip a month ago. While she is in good health and recovering, she is experiencing constant aching down her leg to the knee. I would like to buy her a massager but am unsure as to which one is suitable. Please advise me as to what you recommend.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is no particular massager that would be helpful to her. You can buy one based on the reviews of previous users.

If she is not currently attending physiotherapy then starting this may also be helpful as well.
A physiotherapist may be able to demonstrate exercise that may be helpful for her.

I hope this helps
