Can you get her to start walking? That would help more than anything - the legs, the back, the health, maybe even the weight. If she could work up to 40 minutes a day, it would make such a difference. It's amazing the ills that can be cured by walking regularly.

My mother had problems with leg cramping (peripheral artery disease). She was told that the only thing that would help was walking, but she wouldn't do it because in the short term it hurt, even though in the longer term she would end up with less pain if she kept up the exercise. After a while she could barely walk. My husband was in the same situation but found a different answer: he ended up as a long distance hiker - with no more leg cramps.
