I am a male, 57,years old, 6 2 and 255 lbs. I have high blood preasure controlled with meds. I had angioplasty and 2 stents inserted on Wed. and have had pain in my thigh every since. The pain is controllable with advil. It will move from the middle, inside of my thigh, to anywhere between right above my knee to the groin, i have had no pain in the groin, even on the side of insertion. Is this pain normal. I called the Doctors office and all they say is to walk. Walking is hard to due since the other leg also has severe blockage and am getting the same surgery on that one in 3 weeks
Hi, From the pain pattern and distribution, it appears to be occurring as a result of irritation of obturator nerve. Irritation of nerve occurs as a result of fluid collection or irritation of the surrounding tissue. All you need to do is ice fomentation along with some over the counter painkiller. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
