Greetings, sorry for your mother's pain.
Just massage (10 strokes) calf muscles and give ice to calf muscles for 5 min twice daily until you feel pain subsides to 40%.
Alongside home remedies mentioned above see physio near you and get treated.
Do not go after pain which is a symptom, find the cause of pain and it is most likely muscles which troubles. So be cool..
If any concerns do let me know.
Wishing your mother a quick recovery.
