4Months Post Quad CABG

Hi Forum.

This place has been so helpful in my last two posts..

I am 4months post CABG this week. So checking if I should have concerns or is this just normal progress.

My left leg where I had two grafts taken from is still driving me crazy with pain that feels like something attacking inside my leg? My calf is also still oversized?

My Sternum and around that mid chest section still gets really dull achy'

Hoping this is just normal recuperation things... All answers as always, very appreciated.

I am 16 months post double bypass. I do still have numbness in my chest and leg where they took my grafts from. My Sternum is fully healed but there is some pain if I make sudden perks or twists of my Sternum.

Day to day it doesn't bother me too much and generally I am not in pain. I can feel my wires through my chest which is I don't really like but I asked my surgeon said removing them does carry some risk but if they don't cause issue better to leave them alone.

In the beginning my leg was very bad swollen but now it's calmed down.

Not what you're looking for?
