Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

To get relieve from shooting pain she can take Naproxen, Ketoprofen, Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen under the consultation of the PCP. Pain relieving sprays can also be used if required. She can take it either orally or via, IV Injections.

Psychiatric PT is suggested when the patient cannot endure the pain and its the pain management department that can take care better. She can get relieve if she gets under Psychiatrist PT.

Take care.

Regards.
