Hi
Thanks for writing your query and I am happy to see your concern for grandma.
My advice for her would be(without seeing her)-
1.Regular exercise along with diet rich in calcium,vitamin D and tab.biophos (after discussion with your doctor) to increase her bone strength.Glucosamine (nutralite) as a food supplement for joints.
2.pain killer like ibuprofen on SOS basis(after discussion with your doctor).
Take care
