Sounds like some of the angiography dye extravasated, while being injected, into the surrounding soft tissues.
Not a good blood circulation to your leg. The blood goes straight from your artery into your vein bypassing your leg. simple little surgery can fix it.

It explains why support is so important to a loved one with heart disease. It also offers practical strategies on how to support a loved one while also taking care of yourself.
did you have an angioplasty or a stent placed? sometimes when they open up the arteries you get a sort of hyperperfusion sensitivity. in other words, the nerves down there aren't use to the increased blood flow and have to kind of adapt to that. it's sort of like pissing the nerves off.
did they do both legs or are you saying that for instance you had a right groin puncture, they shot your left leg, and now you're having right leg pain?
if they only did a stent/plasty in one leg and the OTHER leg is hurting, that's not really normal. you shouldn't have pain in a leg that they didn't enter. especially weakness. when do you follow up?
could have something to do with what you had done
go see the doctor
