I think you ran mean vein? You likely have venous stasis issues on that leg. Try stockings for this. If both legs Eat less salt and check for congestive heart failure. Amlodipine can bring on as well.

Swelling in one leg following bypass surgery suggests that your symptoms are due to venous insufficiency. Ultrasound testing will be useful in the diagnosis. Please discuss this with the surgeon or your cardiologist. Good luck.
