Is Numbness In The Outer Thigh Normal Post Removal Of Graft Vein?
I had quintuple bypass surgery a month ago. I have had persistent numbness in the outside of my left thigh, the leg from which the graft vein was taken. I have mentioned this to my GP, but had no response to my comment. Is this type of numbness normal after the removal of a vein from the inside of the leg?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of numbness at your leg following a removal of a graft vein is normal sensation at moment due lack of blood supply to that area
Moreover you will need a physiotherapy to enhance blood supply to improve the nerve and collateral blood flow to the area
You can take tablet multivitamin capsules
