I wish this was an easier time for your mom, and I'm glad you're able to get some rest yourself. I am so sorry she is experiencing leg and hip pain on top of everything else, my husband has pain in those places too when his hemoglobin gets low. I understand that your mom might not want to take painkillers because of the grogginess. The hospice people are the best at figuring out how to make people comfortable. I suspect Tramadol has already been suggested, just to let you know our experience is it doesn't have quite so much of a sedative effect.
