i underwent a cardiac cath 5 days ago. last night i awakened with my right knee in severe pain. i haven't been active since the cath. this is a bit frightening. could this be a blood clot. it is almost unbearable pain. i can take 3 lortab, 1 soma and 1 aspirin and it lets up for about 2 hours.

It shouldnt be hurting that much by now. I would get to the hospital because if it is a
clot, it can end up being fatal.
