Hello,
She may need to take anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen or naproxen for pain. Also, she may need to take cortico-steroids to lower inflammation. Also, supplements with condroitin and glucosamine can help. Also, she may use Cymbalta for pins and needles in foot.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
