ESR is very high, which means there is severe inflammation.
Xray picture, although not very clear, is showing Grade 3/4 spondylolisthesis at L5, S1, which means there is dislocation in the spine.
Such high grade dislocation cannot be managed with medications alone- needs spine surgery.
Next Steps
Get her to a nearby orthopedic surgeon.
