To relieve the pain you can give him Tramadol capsules or Paracetamol tablets. But is he continuing the blood thinning medicines he would have been put on following grafting? If not then that could be the problem. Most likely his bypass must have got occluded and therefore he should undergo a Color doppler study of the involved limb to know whether it is working. If not, then he might require re surgery. If you need any more assistance do feel free to ask again. Take care.
