What Causes Severe Leg Pain While Having Anemia?
My mom had two diagnostic angiograms about a week ago, and is having leg pain now near the site. She went to urgent care, they took blood to check for anemia (waiting for results right now), and are doing an ultrasound right now. What are the potential issues that can cause this pain?

Hello
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
It is pleasure to help you at this moment
Leg pains can be due to various reasons. Anemia can cause Generalized weakness, and can cause leg pains.
Any hormonal disturbance, thyroid issues, or any systemic disease can cause similar symptoms
Now, I do not know why the ultrasound is indicated, as you didn't mention any indication for that.
Wait for the result and get back.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
