Question 4

Accepted Answer

Have her seen: I would definitely have her seen.  There are a number of possibilities, assuming that she did not injure it, which presumably you would have mentioned.  These can include gout, sciatica, infection, even a blood clot.  A simple exam would go a long way to determine the cause.

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: Any new redness, swelling on an extremity should be examined by your doctor. If it appears deep, large, painful to touch, prompt Emergency Room care is what I would recommend. If it is  superficial like a pimple / infection it would still require an assessment. Good luck.
