The exercises which she did was beyond the tolerance capacity of her weak muscles and thus they are giving pain. Ask her to rest, apply ice, make her sit at a height from she can get down easily. Don't allow her sit for more than 20-25 minutes. Make her walk. Can do a light massage.

Take a pain killer with alternate cold and hot sponging for few days after consultation with your local doctor. If persists or swelling occurs then evaluation needed.
