Leg pain

My mom had ATG treatment in Feb. and now is on Cyclosporine and Steroids. Her Neutrophils are at 0 whicj I am very worried about and she has had quite a few transfusions since. One thing that has been very painful for her is pain in her legs and hips. She has what she calls a radiating pain that switches spots quickly. It can be in her calf one second and then the next it is in her hip or her other leg. She says it gets so bad that she has to breathe through it sometimes and it keeps her awake at night. She also wakes in the night with terrible cramping in her feet that she has to get out of bed and walk around for bit to get rid of. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what she can do to help with this pain. Is there something that she can do or take to help? Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!!
