A member asked:
Cabg 11 months ago. having a lot of cramps and pain in arms and legs. is this common after this type of surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sternal area discomfort can persist, but usually has declined by 3-4 months. Vein harvest sites in the legs can be a nuisance with healing and numbness but not usually cramps. You probably need a vascular exam. Since you had heart disease, you have some other risk factors and may have something else going on.
