Urinary tract infection could be a possible cause of low back pain. Please complete the full course of antibiotics and see if she gets relief. Another possible cause of such pain could be improper posture during sitting or lying down which may trigger spasm of the lower back muscles. She needs to learn certain back exercises from a physical therapist and that should help. Hot compress is likely to give her some relief.
