Hello and welcome to HCM,
Hip pain in elderly female can be due to fracture, osteoporosis or musculoskeletal cause.
Since, fracture has been ruled out. the other possibilities have to be considered.
Bones in elderly post-menopausal females are osteoporotic & osteopenic and can be painful.
A history of fall can injure the musculoskeletal system i.e. muscles, tendons, ligaments around the hip joint and can be the cause of pain.
A clinical assessment is required to know the cause of pain.
The goat leg soup is rich in proteins and can be given to your mother.

Thanks and take care
