Brief Answer:
DOLO 500mg, VOVERON GEL, HOT PADS

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Low hydration, low calcium and vitamin B can cause these pains.
Your wife should first rest and avoid all movements that increase the pain.
Voveron gel can be rubbed at the back.
Use hot pads over the painful areas.
You can safely give her DOLO 500mg tablet along with warm water if the pain does not relieve.
Calcium supplements have to be started SHELCAL 500mg, twice a day should be taken for one month.
MECOBAL tab 500mcg, one tablet a day.

Let me know if you have questions.
