Hi Thanks for posting on HCM The pain you describe could be caused by tissue response to your stent or osteoarthritis or a strain.Treatment options may include different lines of pain drugs depending on pain intensity, myorelaxants, steroids occasionally and in some cases, physiotherapy. I will suggest you try the following: -Rest well and avoid over using leg for some time -Take a pain drug like aceclofenac -A myorelaxant like miorel -Continue with ice pack placement coccasionally If the problem persist, you see the Doctor to exploit other treatment options or reevaluate the stent. Hope this will help Best regards
