Progressing Swollen Arms, Breast, Thigh And Calf, Overweight. What Kind Of Doctor Should Be Consulted?

I'm researching for my neighbor. She has swelling on half of her body. From her arms, breast, thigh and calf. She is 65 and this has been going on for years kind of a novelty but has gotten progressivly worse the last 6 months. She is overweight and this is starting to really hurt her and now cause for concern. Her regular doctors are at a loss as to what to do for her. I believe it is her right side (if that matters). Can you give some insight? Or what kind of doctor should she see? Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would suggest her to get her bp examined also go for urine examination.
I would suggest to consult to an Nephrologist and get the examination done.

Hope this helps out,

Regards..
