What Do Pain And Cramps In The Calf Muscles Indicate?

I had a fempop bypass to my right femoral artery a couple of years ago. Since then I have recovered quite well, walking 3-4km s daily with no issues. Today I managed about 200m s and the ache and cramps began. Not too severe but enough to make me rest. I am experiencing mild ache in my calf muscle at rest. Should I consult my GP of is this normal? Last ultrasound about 6 weeks ago and results were good apart from some clotting where the graft joins the artery lower down the leg. Previously I has a minor follow up surgery to remove a piece of valve that remained when the graft was first attached.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If there is any minor clotting also then you feel crappy if there is hampering of circulation and lactate mediators can cause you pains. So, kindly get ultrasound Doppler done if there is any clot.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
