Brief Answer:
Get checked for calcium and vitamin D
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I will suggest that she sees an orthopedic surgeon and gets examined and also blood tested for calcium and vitamin D deficiency. He may also prescribed some muscle relaxants like diclofenac-MR and thiocolchicoside. These medicines may cause weakness in muscles for sometime but can help relieve the back muscles.
Rest to the back muscles by avoiding lifting any weights. Stretches of back and shoulder rotations can be helpful.
Meanwhile continue the pain killers. Take only one pain killer at a time.
Hope this helps.Let me know if I can assist you further.
