Is Pain In Legs Normal Post Cardiac Catheterization?
I had a cardiac catheterization one week ago and am now experiencing leg pain on the side where the procedure took place. Is this normal? I am a healthy 57 year old male with no risk factors but I suffered a heart attack and a 100% blockage was found and stented.
