[|AI|]  Hello, The chief symptoms you have are pain and coldness of the leg. Along with swelling. Now the very first diagnosis that I would think of in case of these features is a thrombosis of the blood vessels. That would explain the symptoms best. I think the bypass vessel graft was taken from the same leg. So it's likely that the area supplied by the blood vessel is involved and affecting you. This usually doesn't happen because the remaining vessels pick up the function of the vessel removed. Maybe that has not happened in your case. Another possibility is that the previously normal vessels are getting thrombosed. I would recommend testing with the Doppler study. That will be able to detect the thrombus. If found, you will need anticoagulation medicine like Warfarin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
