Hi there.

I had OHS 2 months ago and it just does not make sense that one can get leg pain at the groin area after OHS.

I would really go for a second opinion if I were your hubby.

Just a thought: did the Cardio/Surgeon do an Angiogram pre-op? that can maybe explain pain in groin, but it should NOT last 3 years!

Angiogram, central access line, all are possible, but it should not last three years, I agree! Going in for a second opinion will probably be the best option.
