I think she might have severe osteoporosis of her spine and may have sustained fracture of the spine also. I would suggest you to get her x ray and bone mineral density test to see if there is any deficiency and if yes then how much. Then accordingly we can treat her back pain and associated symptoms. She will need bed rest for a month and can sit with belt on. If she is having osteoporosis then she will also need caclium and vitamin D3.
