As above : Be more observant , proactive and try to help with home work before she does. I believe you need to communicate together and to point out to her u feeling and concern about her pain symptoms and willing to share the work load together, .

How about helping?: You could lighten her workload by sharing in some of the heartier chores. You could try massaging the sore areas. You could offer her tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil. Any or all of the above might help--and if tried and does not, then suggests need for a dr. Visit.
