Hai.u can allow her to take tablets containing tramadol added with paracetamol (ultracet). Or u can go for pregablin with methylcobalamine daily once at night. Add up with calcium & vitamin d3 daily omce. These are all safe for the kidneys also. If still the pain persists u can go for opiod analgesics. Dont worry, take care
