Tricky one this.

Yes, the area where veins are harvested from are often subject to tingles and other odd sensations that may take 12 or 18 months to subside. Lots of people on this forum report something similar.

But the unfortunate fact is that a pain or sensation, in one leg only, is also a possible indication of a thrombosis. Consequently you should contact your GP or dial 111.

Hello

At  Chappychap has given great advice and it is true

I get numbness and my legs and feet can go cold I had viens took from both legs and I have numbness to in certain parts

I spoke to my Doctor and Surgeon and they say it will improve sometimes for some it can always stay the same but it does not bother me as such and I have been given the all clear it is nothing sinister

But tell your Doctor or phone 111 or even the BHF Nurses on here so you to can get the all clear and in time it should improve x
