Hello :-)

When others come on and see your post that have had stents they may be able to answer you better than I can as I had Bypasses but it can take a while stents or Bypasses to settle down

However with it now been 5 months I would see my Doctor and get their opinion what might be causing it

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Having had six stents fitted due to two heart attacks, the bruising from them can still appear after several months. That said, my advice would be to phone 111 or visit your GP, if it's bruising it should settle down after a couple of days. In your shoes I would make the phone call, I hope you get sorted soon.
