Thank you for the numerous suggestions for treatments for my mothers leg

appears to be from fluid retention.

In totality, your suggestions totalled about nine pages.  In brief, you

           p.m. doses

           suggested a phosphorous free preparation such as Superabsorbeze by
           Nature's Life
