Hello... At this age it is more likely that she is having arthritic joints i.e. weakness in bone and joint which maybe causing pain and swelling in the foot. Also, she might have lumbar spondylosis causing pain and swelling in lower limb. So, you need to visit any orthopedician or physiotherapy clinic to get diagnosed. Till then ask her to keep her leg raised & avoid long standing position. Take breaks during walking, don't complete in a single go. Do stretching exercise for calf and hamstring muscles. Also, do strengthening exercise of quadriceps (front knee muscle). For better understanding of these exercises visit to physiotherapy centre.
