Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that there is not too much to be done in her clinical condition besides physiotherapy. Anyway, I would recommend discussing with her attending physician on the possibility of starting Amytriptyline or Pregabaline, which can help against the chronic pain.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
