There are so many different things going on here, it's impossible to say. Your mother-in-law needs urgent medical care to manage all of her health problems. I wish you the best of luck.

Is she taking a Statin Medication? Zocor, etc.?? My mom has same as all of your mom-in-law's issues, and she had reaction to STatin medication -- ended up deteriorating her muscles and lowering Creatnine levels. she was in ICU for 3 days - they took her off the statin and she felt lots better. All of her muscle aches gone - and creatnine (sp?) went back to normal.... It was called "rhabdomyolysis".
