Suggest Treatment For Painful Leg In A Patient With Dementia

Hi. My mom has dementia. She sat down hard on the floor a few weeks ago. She says she fell but it was more of a sliding out of bed. She was checked out by a doctor and nothing is broken. She still complains about her leg hurting and screams in pain when you touch her. My brother and I have asked her if she is afraid of something. She said she is afraid of falling again. What can we do to help her get over this? She was doing so well before the fall .
