waterball Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Can anyone who has had an angiogram through the main artery in groin, how long did their discomfort last? My hubby mark had his first angio 6/11/09 did not feel a thing as he was high on morphine and then he had another done on the 18/11/09 and felt everything. H e still gets an ache there now.

Karen Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Diane, I had some discomfort/tenderness for quite some while, a couple of months?... but would also advise that anybody who's experiencing a lot of discomfort, that they see their GP and get it checked out.

Super Mario Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I have had 7 angios in total, cerebral and cardiac, they all used the same entry site. It does ache for quite a while afterwards. It feels like deep bruising. If a plug was used in the punctured artery to seal it you can feel a hard lump until it dissolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennissmithy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'd agree too. Three years on and sometimes I still get a pain there. The consultant checked it out and said that he thought it was made weaker during my coiling and my pain threshhold may be lower there.

KelBel Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 hi Diane, I had my aneurysm coiling op/angiogram on friday 18th dec 09 and they went in at the top of my right leg, yet I have not as yet felt a thing there. There was no bruising and I have no scar. I had the slightest blemish there and on 23rd Dec when I had my first shower after the op and got the 'plaster' wet, it came away and I was completely healed up! The nurse couldn't believe it... Perhaps I am just lucky or a bit odd maybe?... Hope it heals up soon Kelley x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
