Swelling in one leg (foot only )
Hey doctors !
My mother had an accident in November in which she had a knee fracture. After removal of plasture she got continuous swelling on her knee and foot area. After sometime knee swelling was fine but till now she has foot swelling. We had a word with doctor and had medicine as well but it is fine only if she is taking medicine . Doctor told her to rest but still it is not recovering properly. That swelling pains as well.
As far as her medical history is concerned then she is diabetic + having liver cirrhosis as well for which her medication is also going on. Please suggest.

Could be due to dependent position, less mobility of the leg.
Keep leg elevated, and active exercises of knee joint.
