Hi,
Sorry to hear of your pain. While bruising and some pain is common at the puncture site for angiography and not a serious concern.
However, if you have weakness in the limb, this always need urgent assessment and management. So please visit your doctor urgently.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
