Your mom has leg edema and numb toes because of combined heart and kidney problem. Leg is more edematous on the side with previous hip surgery due to weakened venous system but she is also at risk for clotting of the deep vein (DVT). If she has not had leg Doppler checked to rule out DVT, it should be done. Limited salt and cautious fluid intake along with diuretic are the only options if no DVT.
