Hi XXXX
Thanks for the query
Its possible it may be a slip disc. This can cause back pain which can radiate to the lower limbs.
She can consume 2 tablets a day. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. If the pain does not get relieved she can get an MRI of the lumbosacral spine.
Not to worry. Further examination required to confirm
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

The pain is slightly less as compared to first day. today is third day. She is able to walk , but while sitting she is able to feel the pain. She was taking only 1 indocap sr per day, but we will make it 2 from now. is there any problem to travel by car to any short distance place?

Take twice a day. Can travel. On smooth roads. Avoid bumpy roads.
Detailed Answer:
She can take twice a day. Avoid bumpy roads and journeys. Short distances on good roads are fine. Do get Xray and MRI of lumbosacral spine if the pain does not subside.
