Hello
After going through this query , this swelling on the legs may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Chronic renal failure , diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for serum creatinine , blood urea and ultrasound of both kidneys.
2 Anemia , this is a most common cause of such swelling . Although she is taking multi vitamins but get in blood for hemoglobin examination.
3 Hypoproteinaemia , decrease of protein level is another possibility of such symptoms . Get in urine as well as blood examination for protein level.
However , there are so many other causes as infection is one of them .
I recommend you consult a physician and get his opinion because physical examination is important in such cases.
Good luck.
