According to age this problem is there as osteoarthritis. No other test required. 10% improvement is good. As in other elderly it's not seen. Enema in home is not possible in home, my father used to have enema almost every day. Yet not satisfied. Dulcolax suppository to insert in anus n hold for one min or as long he can. Some result may improve. Duphalac liquid 15 ml at night can be advisable.
