Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Progressive pain could be due to osteoporosis or possible lumbar spondylosis.
2. Lumbar support belt could reduce pain. However, if she reduces her work and undergoes physiotherapy along with back exercises, situation will improve.
3. Surgery should be last resort. Meet an orthopaedic surgeon to assess for medical treatment of osteoporosis.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
