Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The stiffness can be due to muscle problem, joint problem, poor blood supply due to vein graft removed or it can be due to nerve injury. Try some physiotherapy exercises, and dip feet in warm water. If this does not help, you may need to undergo nerve conduction studies, dopplar studies, X-rays, tests for joint disorders etc.
Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
