What Is The Numbness In My Right Leg?

I m a 50-year-old female SVT patient who underwent ablation last week. So far, everything was fine and normal, even the hematoma on my right groin area that had 3 punctures thru my femoral vein. I am taking baby aspirin once a day, and this will be for a month. Yesterday I felt slight numbness on my right leg. I consulted my family doctor who advised me to go to the hospital ER for further evaluation. Ultrasound was done and the result ruled out pseudoaneurysm. With that, I was discharged. I am resting now at home but still do feel that slight numbness on my right leg. Is it a cause for worry? I am scheduled to have 48-hour holter next week and see my cardiologist/EP doctor the week after. Should I do anything else?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, your symptoms may not be vascular, but may be due to nerve compression, and an MRI will help us delineate the thing. also you need not rush, just take rest, as many times the early neural compression goes with rest alone.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
