A member asked:
Hi, i had a heart surgery in june 2018 and it was a bypass, cardiologists took out an artery from my thigh and put it on my heart and now my whole leg and foot is swelling, pitting and very painful. what should i do to get better?

Go to ER now!: A painful swollen let and foot after surgery can be due to a clot in your leg, or a serious infection. Please go to an ER now to get seen and treated. cCots in legs can lead to clots in lungs, a very dangerous complication.
