I would suggest you to write details of medicine names she is on.if she is not on muscle relaxant then go for diathermy, massage and physical therapy. use over the counter available muscle relaxant creams/gels/rubificients.
for fibromyalgia gabapentin 300mg thrice a day and elavil 25 mg twice a day are helpful.muscle relaxants like lorzone 500 mg twice a day
