What Can Cause Swelling And Popping Sensation In The Feet And Ankles?

My mom is 70. She weighs about 95 pounds. Not active. About two months ago, she became unsteady and her legs are weak. She says they feel really heavy and like her feet and ankles will pop because they feel swollen to excess even though they arent. She has to hang on to furniture and walls to go to the restroom. She is wobbly.
