Brief Answer:
bone mineral density test

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since she is on Altraz which contains anastrozole it may have caused thinning of her bones called osteoporosis which is causing pain in her spine

I would advise you to do a bone mineral density test

For increasing her energy i woud advise you to give her tablet zincovit one tablet once daily after food with your doctors advise for 1 month
