It scared me when I noticed the swelling and hard to when doctors didn't really know.For me it took some time to normalise but what else made a difference was cutting down on sweet and carbs. Sleeping with my feet up also help with the swelling. I used to get numb right foot if I had too much sugar and carbs and swelling too and cutting down really helped me. Not quiet diabetic doctors said but was pre-diabetic.
I’m only 13 months post, I don’t get any swelling but my leg still feels really numb and gets pins and needles every day. I knew they were using one of the veins out of my left leg but as I had a quad cabg they took it all the way up in to my groin. If I’d of known it was going to be keyhole I would have said no I want you to harvest by opening my leg up fully, keyhole is so aggressive it can easily damage other things. I’ve had some before and that also caused problems.
