What Causes Severe Thigh Pain After Open Heart Surgery?
I have had open heart surgery and I am having sever pain in my left inner thigh. Can not get any relief from this pain. It is not the leg they took the veins out of to do my surgery. What could this be and do I need to go to the ER or can it wait until I can get to my doctor

i read your question and understand your concern
i would like to ask your
*age
* when did u went through this open heart surgery?
* are you still on some post operative medication?
* still on bed rest?
* any swelling along with pain?
i would suggest to go to ER immediately to have your check up done
such pain after open heart surgery could be a DVT so don't delay
and go and have your Doppler scan done and take remedy according to that
i hope my answer will satisfy you
good luck & tc
