Get a consultation to get a clear picture of her current condition so that specific treatment can be started. Do not self medicate. You can plan an online appointment.

You can consult some orthopedic doctor online if you can't take her to doctor personally because of covid. Her condition ( leg swelling, diuretic usage) precludes NSAID( pain killer) usage.
Now all the blood tests and x-rays can be done at home. So don't worry about taking her to hospital, get an online consultation and tests at home so that she can be started on apt treatment.
Next Steps
apply hot pack and topical analgesic gel
Health Tips
Don't use analgesics as you wish when she has leg swelling and using diuretics as this can cause kidney damage and bring in more problems.
