Hi,Welcome to HCM.Based on the facts of your query,You seems to have 2 differrent helath issues.Reddish wrist lump seems to be of -Ganglion Cyst of the Wrist.
Headache with shooting pains in her back seems to be due to ?Cervical Spondylitis she might have.X-ray of the Neck and of the back would fix its cause.
For Both take Tab Diclove for painkilling and for muscle relaxing,which would take care of both the conditions in one go.
Hot fomentation/ Neck Exercises/ Good posture of the Spine/ is needed for further and fast relief.
If it is troublesome Check with Ortho-Surgeon and get Second opinion on this.
