Yes: At site of insertion, bruising is common, and can get worse, so follow instructions. Occasionally at site of dilation and stretch, can be discomfort or bleeding.

Shouldn't hurt: Sometimes patients may have an localized ache from stretching of the blood vessel but this should go away in a couple days. Pain down the leg is not normal. Is the leg white or cold? Fever? If so see a doctor asap as the stent may have clotted or become infected. You should also probably be taking an Aspirin a day.
