What Is The Cause For Severe Pain In Both The Legs?
Hi, My father in law had 5 way heart bypass surgery two weeks ago and is currently in a rehab facility. He's doing great except for the sever pain in both legs. The surgeon harvested veins from one leg and did an exploration in the other. Is this typical and can anything be done? He's having a terrible time even standing. Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for posting
This pain is normal as vein's were harvested from there.He may wear stocking,limb elevation,pain killer like tramadol/paracetamol it will help. He may take it after discussion with the treating doctor.
Hope this helps.
