Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Yes these are right medications but decadron is beneficial for 5-10 days. Prolong use has many side effects.
I would like advise you to have MRI spine to dig out the cause. If it is just disc prolapse then Epidural steriod injection can give her pain free window period to do so much excersize to bring back the disc to its normal position.
Last resort would be surgery.
Hope it helps best.
