Agree with Dr Gupta plan. In addition we need to find out why she has got a bend at these bones.Whether is it because of osteoporotic fractures for which she has to check the Vitamin D and Calcium levels and supplement if needed which is very common at the age of 63 years. If severe pain support her with a back brace .( Called LS Corset which your physiotherapist will know) These fractures take atleast 3 to 6 months for complete pain subsidence though it gradually gets better.
