i had a heart catherization about 8 months ago. about 3 months ago i started having groin and leg pain all the way down the front of my leg to my ankle. when i walk or stoop down to do anything for any length of time it hurts. if i sit, it goes away. i have been to a orthopedic and have had x-rays & a cat scan. they can find nothing. could this be a side effect of the heart cath?

REPLIED

Probably not the side effect of the heart catheterization. You may have poor circulation in your legs due to narrowing or blockage of the arteries of the legs. To find out about it you may need an arteriogram of your lower extremities. Interventional Radiology doctors can do this for you. For more information please click the link below:
