radial swelling

Hi All,

I wondered if anyone is experiencing the same thing as me. I had my HA in 2018 and had x3 stents fitted via a catheter placed in my right radial artery. Since having this done I periodically get a swelling over the area. The swelling comes up, it becomes inflamed and is sore rather than painful then after a couple of days it goes. Has anyone else had this ?

Have you already spoken to your GP about this? It seems a long time after your stents were done, so worth checking if it’s related to that or something quite different.
