      If she is that painful then she probably needs the Hip Replacement. As far as activity goes, that is up to her. Whatever makes her feel the best. It’s not like a soft tissue injury that keeping it moving makes it feel better. In your Mom’s case the bone itself is deteriorating.
      Pain medications and anti-inflamatory meds are her friend - “Better living through modern chemistry)
