  One leg swelling over an extended period of time probably means inhibited drainage of lymph, for which one possibility at her age is cancer, spreading to lymph nodes.  Venous insufficiency is another possiblity.  Something, that definitely needs to be addressed to a doctor.

Why someone refuses to go to the doctor is beyond me slap the stupid slag.  Or call out a doctor to the house

Sigh...in the United states, some people can't get health insurance...

A family friend in her 50s has seen a slow swelling in her calf for the last few months.  it's now 1/3 bigger than the other leg.

She's very reluctant to go to the doctor - we are all working to get her to go.

What could be possible causes?  blood clot?  something else?
Maybe she should see a doctor? Just saying.  ::)

Onlyme v2.fem?
Lol
Tell her if she doesn't go Shea going to gain 400 lbs and become epically depressed and hate your life until you die.

Then show her pics of Keith, before and after.

I was going to make a brown recluse spider joke but thought it might be too soon.
