Hi,

If he is having pain in the leg, it can be muscular but any vascular lesion or blockage should be ruled out with history of raised cholesterol and tendency to form blood clots like ischemic heart disease. If it's in the same leg where the graft was taken, patency of collateral circulation needs to be confirmed by lower leg Doppler. Meanwhile OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be used. Uric acid levels as well as sugar levels should be done.

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

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
