Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

In my opinion there is need to evaluate her current situation with a MRI of vertebral column.

Treatment is surgical ( decomprression of nerves), but isn't always 100% effective.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
