Purple, Swollen Feet, Skin Peeling, Body Pain. History Of Pelvis Fracture. Treatment?
My grandmother has very purple and swollen feet . Since she fractured her pelvis last year she does not move around alot but her feet have gotten worse over the last couple of days. She can not even get shoes on and now her skin is starting to peel off. I am trying to get her to go to the doctor but she says she does not feel good and aches all over so she just wants to lay in bed. Should I be taking her to the ER as I am worried about heart issues. Also her legs are swollen but not purple like her feet.
