I am a 37 year old female with a recent trip to the hospital for a heart catherization. I am experiencing pain in the abdomen as well as the thigh. The pain in the thigh is a throbbing pain that comes and goes.
I have sharp pains from the abdomen that come and go as well. My question is, should I be concerned of the pain in the thigh? I had the catherization done 2 months ago. Or am I having pain from adhesions from past surgeries? There is no sign of bruising anymore but there was a previous blood leak from the artery that was supposed to have stopped bleeding from the artery.
The pain seems to get worse. Is there a way you can give me some answers to my problem or if I am having other symptoms I should be aware of?
I am not sure what to do. I have told my doctor of the pain in the groin and thigh area but they look at it and they tell me it looks ok not to worry. Why am I having the pain then?? It feels like there is pain in the veins that are in my thigh.
As far as the pain in the abdoman, I have had 8 surgeries, and 1 scar. Is it possible I have adhesions that are giving me this pain? And what should I do about them and can you tell me signs and symptoms from the adhesions in the abdomen?
Thankyou.

Dear Tina,
Thank you for your recent letter. It is difficult to provide information regarding possible causes for your pain because of the complexity of your illness and the number of possible cuases. With regard to your thigh pain, it is important to know if the pain is related to walking and is relieved by rest. If you have these symptoms one should wonder about the possibility of an inadequate blood supply to your leg. If the pain is related to specific positions of your leg, the possibility of a hip problem must be considered. If there are bulges in your groin, look for a hernia.
It is possible that there is a connection between your abdominal and the thigh pains. Radiation of abdominal pain to the thigh is a common observation. You do not provide details regarding your previous surgeries. Pain due to adhesions is usually related to partial or complete intestinal obstruction. Patients will complain of ceampy abdominal oain associated with difficulty passing gas or constipation. When complete obstruction is present, there may be vomiting as a symptom.In addition to intestinal causes for abdominal pain, one should also consider gynecologic etiologies as well as kidney causes.
I hope that this information will help you. This information is provided for educational purposes and should not be considered a medical consultation.
