What Causes Pain At The Bifemoral Bypass Surgery Site?
My Mother had a bifemeral (sp?) bypass years ago but now she is having pain in that area that can radiate down her leg. She has seen her doctor but they said it was probably due to her arthritis since the results of her Arterial Duplex Scan were fine. Can you suggest anything else to do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
For your mother , after reading the complaints, I would recommend pain killers and exercises to increase her muscle strength in hips a, thighs and back. An X ray of the hips will establish the diagnosis . If she has severe hip arthritis then she might require replacement surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
