hi everyone....I have no reason to disagree with all the above comments....The first thing i would check out in a screening procedure is the LUMBAR SPINE as tony correctly noted....But the only thing that really concernes me and there is no reason to conceal it is the NIGHT PAIN which is worse at night, it maybe -sometimes and sometimes not- a warnign sign for a more serious patholgy...My recommendation is juseasy to consult her GP and highlight this particular symptom
