Swelling in right leg
Hello Doctor,
My mother is 68 years old. She is experiencing swelling and pain in her right leg, at the same spot where she had a fracture about 1.5 years ago. We consulted an orthopedic today—X-ray shows the bone is fine. We are now waiting for the uric acid test report.
If the uric acid report also comes back normal, could you please suggest which specialist we should consult next?
