The only thing I might add is that her doctor may prescribe her some stronger pain medication for a few days. After that, the pain should be much easier to manage with tylenol and/or advil.

First though she should be taking extra vitamin C; the body uses it to mend tissue. For the pain try massaging the leg above the foot. Feel for knots or tight muscles. Using some pressure, rub along the muscle. Relaxing also helps so she should drink a tea for relaxing, like chamomile. So can deep breathing into the bottom of the tummy.
