What Causes Posterior Knee And Thigh Pain Post A Triple Bypass Surgery?

I am having some aching pain behind my right knee and up my inner thigh. I have had triple bypass and wondered if this pain is related to the vein they took out of that leg. My bypass was three years ago and because of knee, foot and back issues have led a sedentary lifestyle. Should I be concerned? If I see a doctor should I see my GP, my cardiologist or my orthopedist. Had knee replacement on left knee 2005 and right knee does have issues like trying to pop out and some cracking noise.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, pain could be due to musculoskeletal condition and it may be nonspecific and not due to the CABG, you can consult the orthopedic surgeon for opinion but it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
