What Causes Mild Pain In Left Leg Long After Placing Stent In Main Artery?
I am 78 with a cardiac history, 4 stents in main artery 12 years ago. 5 usual medications for this condition Recently experiencing a shifting dull ache that ebbs and flows in left leg only, even without movement. Seems to centre in calf but difficult to pinpoint. Worse in the early morning in bed. Have arthritis in the thumb when pressure is exerted. However, this seems like a different sort of pain.

Cap B complex three times a day , tab bruffen pera MR three times a day tab calcium wth vitamin D , tab diacerin 50 after food, glucoseamine 1000mgand tab chondroitin 400 mgtwice a day
