What Does Severe Pain Behind The Legs Indicate?

My mother, 80 years old, suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and was given Prolea(sp?) last week for her osteoporosis. She has a bad reaction with debilitating pain in the backs of her legs and left side, so much that she cannot walk and must be helped to the bathroom. I assume this is a bad reaction to the medication as this has never happened before.
