I need to have a question answered about my mom then he is 74 years old it weighs about a hundred and seventy-eight my question is that for the past few days she's been complaining about retaining fluid in the legs and arms and I know it's somewhat the same today and yesterday she woke up and her right foot has all the way up to hurt I'm half of her leg has some redness and swelling swelling along with it and very painful at the touch and you tell me if that's the sign of a blood clot or ordered or whatever they call it but not sure if I should take her to the doctors or the emergency room where she could be treated and merely as I said she's suffering from a lot of pain

Hello,
She needs to see a doctor today. This could be a blood clot on infection. She needs an exam and some testing as soon as possible.
Regards
