Do I Need To Take My Mother To A Doctor For A Swollen Leg With An Ulcer?
Hi, my mom, 96, has osteoporosis in her knee. Her leg is swollen twice the size of the other leg. The lower part of her leg is dark red and she has an ulcer there as well, although it is not an open wound it is almost a black purple colour. Please advise me what to do. Her knee is very very painful. I can suplly photos. Thank you very much
