A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart cath: Common to have groin pain in the area for several days after the procedure. There is local trauma with bruising and swelling. Should improve over the next 4-5 days. If there is calf tenderness that doesn't improve quickly you need to talk to your PCP for further evaluation.
