Please see an orthopaedic surgeon in your area. We may need to get some x rays of the spine along with some blood tests for bone profile.

Hi..this much information is not sufficient to diagnose ...did she had a fall or any previous injury..since how long is she suffering.. Which doc you consulted..any investigations done..she needs to be evaluated clinically also..so you go to orthopedic surgeon and then Physio can guide you with exercises and pain relieving with modalities as per required..by the time for pain relief rest and ice fermentation may help.
