Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In age of 95 lower limb edema need to be ruled out for renal disease, and second most common is anemia, condition need differentiation till then limb elevation position is advisable, some time in geriatric age limb edema may appears without any specific reason.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
