Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
Your mother is suffering from severe back ache, difficult to change position, intermitent.
it appears to be the changes in vertibrae, and discs. if it is to the sides of the back suggest urinary tract infection, or stones in the urinary tract.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I.besides other routine tests for confirmation. Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement Dr. Saurabh Gupta's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular pain most likely caused by a wrong body posture. Taking mild pain killers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular exercise will be helpful.
I suggest her to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedician or Physiotherapist. This will help to relieve the possible muscle spasm which causes the pain.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
