My husband had stent fitted 2 weeks ago since then hes calfs have swollen and are extremely painful making it difficult to walk,

The Dr said this was due to blood not circulating through hes body properly yet and has put him on water tablets, has anyone else experienced this.

When I had similar leg swelling, my doctor prescribed the use of compression hosiery (flight socks), which gave me substantial relief and controlled the swelling. Why not ask your husband's doctor if he would recommend compression hosiery in this case?

hi pennie 205, Just wondered how your husband is getting on. It must be a worry for both of you. Interested as my son in his late 30s had two stents, he lives miles away and is lucky not to have many set backs. Hope the water medication has been helpful.
