Brief Answer:
Back pain is most likely due to muscle strain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXX,

I can understand your concern for your mother.

Your mother is likely suffering from muscle strain/spasm or intervetrabal disc prolapse.

You should consult an orthopedic surgeon first to find out the exact cause for the back pain.

Cost of the treatment depends on the exact nature of the condition and how bad it is, it can range from a few hundred rupees to few thousand rupees, but before any consideration as to the cost of treatment is made, we need to diagnose the problem, for that please consult an orthopedic doctor as suggested.

Best hospital in my opinion in XXXXXXX will be XXXXXXX Medical College.

As for temporary pain relief, I suggest you do the following..

1. Hot water bags on the back for 10 to 15 minutes each time, 2 to 3 times in a day.

2. Tablet Brufen 400mg one tablet if the pain is severe.

3. Regular exercises if the pain is not too severe or if it is not interfering with bending exercises.

I hope this answers your question.

Kind regards.
