Analgesic induced chronic headache can't be ruled out. She should see a doctor or she can try to wean off the analgesic completely then headache can be cured. Good luck to your mom.

Your mother may suffer from Chronic Daily Migraines. You do not describe the "medicines", but a visit to a neurologist could start a medication that could break up the current pattern and prevent the headaches.
