She need to be assessed and see where is the pain and correlate with X-rays. She got L1 fracture which can be treated conservatively. Make there is no hip fracture - if you are in doubt do CT scan. Consult orthopaedic doctor

There is a L1 compression fracture and ischiopubic rammii fracture of the right side. Treatment is rest for 4-6 weeks and treatment of osteoporosis. Medications like Enzomac, Tendocare and Identical K2 will help. Plan for injection zolendronic acid if her renal status is fine.
Next Steps
Conservative management is preferred here.
