Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that cause for leg pains can be due to your anti-cholesterol (Statin) medication, pedal edema or damaged nerves ( neuropathy ) from graft site. Kindly consult a Cardiologist for physical evaluation and get a dose modification ( if it is statin related ), change of Amlodipine ( if pedal Edema ) or add of medication ( if Neuropathy ).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
