Dear Vilik.
Our research on similar circumstances indicates
there are myriad things that "could" be the primary complication. One
procedure that aids nearly all lower extremity circulation insufficiencies,
among our research volunteers, is elevating the feet to a point higher than
the hips for 3o to 6o minutes at a time. If I were guessing (and that is
very dangerous) varicosities would be a prime suspect. If the swelling is
repetitive, we have found in our experimental researches with primates, that
the vein valves are mal-functioning----almost always. Her physician has the
means to determine this....if he is so inclined.
I believe James' suggestion regarding thrombosis is a quite
valid observation. It has been our experience (from among our volunteer
population) that weak vessel walls are quite common in obese
individuals.....especially beyond 50 years. We have elicited, sometimes,
marked relief in pain among aged primates, using 60% to 70% DMSO in a
topical modality. Our experimental researches have revealed that ANY
non-toxic protocol that results in improved peripheral circulation to the
extremities (especially the lower limbs) is of very pronounced
value----regardless of accompanying protocols.
Unless this person has a very caring physician and "powerful"
supporting insurance, isolating the real cause could be difficult.
Please do remember, we are a research organization and do
not practice any form of medicine, give any type of medical advice or make
ANY recommendations for action----for other people. We do relate our
experimental research results....on occasion.
Sincerely. Brooks Bradley.
