Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has esophagus cancer. Now she has back pain. It can be due to cancer spread or some neural involvement. Routine painkiller may not help much. In terminal stage cancer drugs like morphine can be used as pain killer. It is strictly prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
