SUDDEN SWELLING OF BOTH WHOLE LEGS

my aunt, 75 yrs old, suffers from diabetes, COPD and hypothyroidism.

generally quite healthy and robust.

following a fall and a break of her hip, her whole legs become swollen.

she has been given all the blood tests, kidney and liver function test, lipide and thyroid profile, dopplers for the legs, echocardiogram, and heart exercise tests, CT, and other tests, all of which came totally normal.

it's baffling. any advice would be most appreciated.

thanking you.

Catherine
