Hello,
Your mom is having pain in the buttocks, back pain & pain radiating down the legs & joints. These symptoms are of sciatica, it may occur due to degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, muscle spasm in the buttocks.
Get her physically examined by a GP, get all blood work out & Imaging tests done to assess the severity of the disease.
Since she has joint pains she can get tested for OA/ RA. Her treatment will depend upon the pathology detected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
