What is safe for her to use depends on her current treatments and whatever other medications she is on, so no one here can safely say what you should give her, since this site doesn't have this information.
There are quite a few options on the market, one of the strongest, that is often used for cancer patients is the Fentanyl patch, because it is 80 times stronger than Morphine and it is time released, so one patch lasts for 3 days.
You can learn more about it here:

Have you asked her doctor about what she can use for the pain?
