Get her support socks that apply gentle pressure. Also consider sequential compress device - an electronic device that gently massages feet and lower legs so fluids move "up" towards the heart.

I am more concerned that your mother needs to see an internal medicine doctor for a thorough physical. She definitely has circulation problems in her legs, but she most likely has heart failure which can be treated with diet and medications.

My husband is also suffering from feet swelling and I bought him a reclining lift chair that has been very helpful. ( you could also rent one thru a medical supply store). Don’t take her against her will for testing. Elastic stockings were also ordered for him . Good luck

Inform her doctor that she’s not compliant. The doctor should take it from there. If not, ask another doctor. And if she wants to be left to her fate, that is, after all, her own choice. You might talk with her about foot amputation if you have the stomach for it. No circulation, that’s what happens. So sorry about this.

Because of the new posts, I thought I'd chime in.

Weary's mother had to be brought over from India because of her decline with Dementia. She was able to get a Green card but she is entitled to no services here for 5 years. No Medicare or SS because she did not pay into it. No Medicaid until she resides here 5 yrs. To answer Fawnby, her Mom has Dementia so hard to make her to comply to anything.

Crock shoes are very useful, easy to wear, non-slippery. Try it!

Swelling in feet: be careful there’s no liquid retention. Serious causes of feet swelling can be: urinary retention (bladder problem), kidney problem, lung problem, or heart problem.

There can be other causes: not serious.
