Hi,

You need to take her to get an X-ray done to rule out if she is developing any nerve problem and if she is getting arthritis of the spine. You can give her some painkillers and massage for her.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zainab Hassanali, General & Family Physician
