Hi,
Yes, severe pain may lead to persistently raised levels of blood pressure, so the pain can be the cause of raised blood pressure.
As per your history, she must be having an acute muscle spasm. For that, she needs to have proper muscle relaxant medication, possible after consulting your general physician or orthopedic consult.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
