Hi, I had a PFO closure ten days ago. It went very well. No issues cardiac wise or wound site. I have however significant bruising on my leg. No issues with bruising. Unfortunately I have developed an intermittent sciatica type pain in my upper leg. It is intermittent in that it might not be there for days, then other days I cannot bend down it’s so bad. Has anyone experienced this?
