Well, really, crux just means 'beam' (or post/support - it's a building term).
It's just that being crucified (put on the beam) can be excruciating. So the crux of the matter is, does she mean tortue with the 'Crucio' curse? I think she does; I thought she was making an allusion to extreme pain, i.e. excruciating pain, the pain of being crucified, that of, being placed on the crux.
