Hi
First thing is that good that your mother has a good stamina and does all her chores well.
She is the menopause stage wherein many hormonal changes happen in every woman and differs in symptoms from one another.
Please do get her routine bloods checked and take the advice of a Gynaecologist to get prescribed some nutritional supplements.
As you said she is having foot pain and also at times knee pain,and her upper back , shoulder pain, it might be due to calcium deficiency.
Need to assess her directly for further clarity.
Next Steps
you can ask her to take oil bath twice in a week with warm sesame oil and massage on all joints for 5 to 10 mins, then take a hot shower. also ask her to dip her feet in a hot water tub or bucket with 1 tsp of rock salt and 2 drops of Nilgiri oil.
Health Tips
These tips might help her along with nutritional supplements and do consult if any further queries.
Stay safe ....... Take care
