Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with my problem. I had a cardiac cath 5 weeks ago. No blockages, but found pulmonary hypertension. My problem is severe pain in the nerve going down my leg. When the Dr. was trying to find my femoral artery he hit my nerve...right leg jumped up like hit by electric shock. I was mildly sedated but still screamed out. The Dr thanked me for helping him find my femoral artery! Oiu! I didn't have any pain for the 1st few days but then started getting pain down my leg from time to time. A few days would go by with out pain but then return with no warning, getting progressively worse. Called cardio, sent me for ultra sound, clear, then said contact primary Dr. He is sending me to a nuero. Any ideas on whether there is damage or just something that will clear up? I won't even drive anymore because the pain comes on so quickly and hurts so bad I can barely breathe!
