How To Treat Pain And Bruise In The Right Thigh Towards Knee?
I am 56 yr old female who had two stents placed in the LAD 3 weeks ago. I am not experiencing any real pain, but my right thigh (below the cath site) continues to be very sore and achy. The original large bruising that appeared on that thigh after the cath is fading, but I have other dark bruising towards that knee. Is this to be expected or should I contact my cardiologist?

Hello,
It is unlikely to be related to stents. Contusion or sprain must be ruled out. Consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
