Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The problem may not be directly related to the removal of the vein !...
- Medicines like statins (for cholesterol) are routinely given in such situations and is the usual culprit.
Diuretics may cause electrolyte disturbance and may be responsible.
- The same pathology affecting the heart vessels could also affect the limb vessels leading to reduction in flow.
Discuss with your Physician / Check your drugs / Doppler study for flow in both arteries and veins of the leg may help
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
