Thank you for using HCM. The low back pain is due to the lumbar spondylosis which is probably due to age related bone degeneration, does the X-ray report mention osteoporosis? She needs rest and pain meds with a lumbar back brace, once pain is subsided back exercises will be advised; please consult an orthopedic surgeon in this regard. Her bed should be hard and sleeping without a pillow would be better. The finding of right pelvicalyceal system fullness on ultrasound is pertaining to the kidney which means there's a dilatation of the kidney but there's no calculi (stones) detected so further observation and follow up is needed for that.
