My mom is 49 years old. She was hit by a transport truck last year. She broke most of the bones in her body, 2 compoundCompound wfracturesFractures across a growth plate, 3 important veins burst and she had a stroke. She is now recovering, but has lost a lot of muscle and tone on her left side, which is the side the stroke was on. She has no muscle mass on her left side of the buttox and it is causing her a lot of pain. Nothing seems to be helping. She does exercises with an RA everyday and physio only 3 hours a week. I hope somebody could tell me if there is any other options to help get her left side to wake up and start working again and gaining that muscle and tone back because it is so hard watching her in pain. Thank you!
