Ok, so good news....the ultrasound looked good, as for the artery and veins. I do have a large bundle of scar tissue which causes a type of hematoma and swelling. This in turn presses against the nerve, which causes the pain and numbness I've been feeling in my groin/leg area where the heart cath was inserted. I am not allowed to exercise for at least a week, supposed to take ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation, and just see what happens. They said it may correct itself in time, or......it will be something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. Go figure. I guess we'll see. I'm just very glad that it wasn't something more serious, such as a clot or leakage. At least now I know.
