Accepted Answer

If the back pain , restlessness, confusion and slurred speech are new you should IMMEDIATELY see an MD (indeed an ambulance might be best). She could be having a stroke and the damage could be mitigated by EXTREMELY prompt treatment. Or she could have an infection (with the back pain).
