How Can Severe Backache Be Treated?

My 87 year old Mom has had a gnawing pain her back for over 2 weeks. She had an overnight stay in hospital where they ruled out UTI, CT of lumbar spine was negative, and a negative BMP. They sent her home to take 500 mg of Tylenol every 4 hrs with oxycodone as needed when pain is worse and some Lidoderm patches. She saw her PCP for a post hospital follow up two days later, they told her they could feel impaction, so they put her on Miralax. She has had loose stools off and on now, but feels her pain is still the same since her initial hospitalization over 2 weeks ago. She has had no appetite for over 2 months. She is going back to her PCP tomorrow, as she called them today asking to come in. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you so much.
