Important to know if she has prolonged immobilization by surgery or any other cause, any flight travel, any breathlessness....These could cause a clot in her veins around the calf. If that is so, don't massage it. Instead take her to a vascular surgeon immediately.
But if not so consult an Orthopaedician.
