Hello,
The cardiac cath was done throw the femoral artery which is found in your upper thigh.
So if the cath is new and the pain starts to decrease with time you shouldn't be a worry.
But if the pain increases with time with the sensation of a blood collection in that area (hematoma) which is one of the complications of cath. Especially if your leg start to be blue or there are any new symptoms you should visit the doctor immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
