Obviously she is over weight.A solution may be in reducing weight.Please consult a physician and get her blood analysed.Excess creatinine. heavy intake of salt in the food is also known to cause retention of water in legs.May also try resting legs at a higher level to reduce discomfort.Do not neglect as this may lead to other problems.

Swollen legs may be a sign of heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure. In these conditions, there is too much fluid in the body.

These remedies can help relieve swelling when it occurs:

Elevate your legs whenever you're lying down. ...

Stay active and focus on stretching and moving the legs.

Reduce your salt intake, which can decrease the amount of fluid that may build up in your legs.

Undergo detailed medical check-up.
