Mandy's Posts

Mandy, my whole right thigh, back and front, was affected by the catheter that inserted into my groin leading to my heart. It took a year by the time I had felt some relief. Above my right knee was the worst...I could hardly touch it, it hurt so bad. But with daily heat compresses, walks, and massages, I am now about 95% cured. I am feeling so much better. I turn 65 in a couple of weeks, and I am fine! I refused to let it defeat me, so I worked hard at it. Let me know if you have questions. Just know, there is hope.

Thanks for your comment. It really helps to know that someone else has had the same pains. I'm looking forward to going to the doctor to see what it is. The last time a catheter was in my leg was three years ago, so I'm still not sure if that is what it is. I'm now thinking maybe it's scar tissue. The other bad part is I'm to be having another surgery through my leg really soon. I'm afraid that it may make it worse. Also did yours hurt constantly. It has now became a annoying pain.
