What Causes Severe Leg Weakness After Triple Bypass Surgery?
My mum had a triple bypass six months ago. Her wounds seem to heal well but has a lot of discomfort in her legs. Very sensitive skin, has flare ups particularly below the knee. Finds it difficult to walk. Gets relief when she sits down. She is 80 years of age.

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with weakness of your mothers legs following a bypass surgery i will suggest strongly that she has developed a post menopausal osteoporosis
In view of this please let her take a lot of calcium rich food and supplements
I hope this helps Regards
