Damaged Nerve?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
North Port, FL

Has anyone else experienced this? I am 7 mos. PO…Knee is a bit swollen, and numb..Wondering if I have permanent damage? I walk atleast 3 mi every morning.. at times I can’t put any weight on my leg.. Left leg, vein was harvested, for OHS. CABG 5. Only thing that helps is a “ elastic knee cuff” and Motrin.. This just began, about a month ago. Please help

Have you brought this issue ( for both Margie and Craig) to a doctor’s attention?? As a retired nurse, I would be concerned about circulatory issues in the leg. So if you have not already discussed with a doctor, please do.
