When you first start thyroid treatment you may experience a lot of symptoms of hypothyroidism that you never experienced before. This is normal, and will go away. Your body is trying to heal from the damage that thyroid disease did to it, and this healing process is painful.
I would recommend to your mom that she take supplements with calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. There is a great pre-mixed pill you can buy from Schiff (fred meyer has it, and other stores too) that has all these in it and isn't a huge horse pill (minerals are bulky, it's hard to find ones that aren't huge!!).
The cal/mag will help with the muscle/joint pains of hypothyroidism. The Vit. D is necessary as your cal/vit.D ratio needs to be kept at appropriate levels.
