Hai.u can allow her to take tablets containing tramadol added with paracetamol (ultracet).
Or u can go for pregablin with methylcobalamine daily once at night.
Add up with calcium & vitamin d3 daily omce.
These are all safe for the kidneys also.
If still the pain persists u can go for opiod analgesics.
Dont worry, take care
