What Does Severe Leg Pain Post Bypass Surgery Indicate Despite Tylenol Intake?
My 59 year old husband (had triple bi-pass in 1/15) is experiencing significant pain and burning in his right leg/knee/calf...the same leg used in the bi-pass. Tylenol does not help. What could be causing this? He is no longer on a statin, but does take Plavix. Thank you, Jan.
