Swollen Legs in an old lady

[Redsox]

My 31 year old retired girl had very swollen back legs yesterday morning (she was in a diet paddock over night), they went down during the day when she was out in the big field. Her legs swelled again last night (again in diet paddock) but haven't decreased today. I don't want to panic/worry unduly....... but would be keen to hear about others experiences. She has been in the diet paddock all summer, with no problems. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Is she lame?
Is there any heat,
Is the starvation paddock very small (as i the size of a large stable)

Has her diet changed as its got colder ( more corn, haylage)

Is her diet paddock small? id say chances are she is not moving around enough in it and standing so they fill up, my old girls legs fill when she stops in over night, i use thermatex leg wraps to overcome this and they work very well.
