What Causes Swelling And Sensitivity To Cold In Leg Post Multiple Stroke Attacks?

My mother had 4 strokes in April. She is out of therapy. She can walk and talk and do everything fine. But the last couple weeks, the leg that wasn t affected has been hurting her. It is also swollen and sensitive to cold. I just wanted to know if you had any answers for me. Thank you

Hi,

The leg being swollen indicated that there is no direct connection to the post stroke situation. She should see a local doctor asap.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Alexander Davis, General & Family Physician
