Hi tmt,

I want to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know that we are VERY glad that you found this forum!! I need to let you know that there are NO Doctros on this Forum ONLY CP - Chronic Pain - Patients that help each other with our own experiences and expertise that we have gained through our own CP Issues.

I'm so sorry that you are having these problems!!!  I JUST finished having my 2nd Angiogram.  The first one was to put Stents in my Heart and this last one was to test the blood flow in both legs. I haven't had any problems after - so after hearing your problems I feel VERY fortunate. What was your Angio for - Heart or Blood Flow in the legs? That could have a bearing on it.

The one thing I'm wondering is if you might have had some scar tissue form - which is hard to diagnose. IF you do that can b VERY painful. The other things that could b happening is that you MAY have some NEW problems occurring - and it JUST happened to start AFTER your Angio.  

Has your Doctor checked for new problems or only for problems that might have been caused from the Angio?  Has ANYTHING happened that might have caused this problem outside of the Angio? Which of the pains that you are feeling started first?  The leg pain, the groin pain or the tummy pain?

I'll be looking for your update. :) .........Sherry
