Pain and swelling in left leg.

Question

Asked for Female, 65 Years

My mother's left leg has been swelling for many months with unbearable pain (thumb & fingers). Went to many doctors. Got MRI done. The recent one said she has arthritis. The medicines they prescribed are neither removing the swelling nor the pain. She doesn't walk much or stand & is mostly resting these days. Yet the swelling & pain won't go away.
