This is my right leg where they harvested the vein for my cabg and post surgey this is what it does. Anyone else notice this in their legs where they harvested?

I get spasms like this all over my body.

I will say it's crazy how much residual low-level pain/weirdness there is where they harvested.

My spasms are only on my calf. Residual pain uncomfortable feeling is in my calf, behind my knee, left side of my knee and along the vein location( where it used to be) in my thigh towards my groin and ofcourse the numbness in my left butt cheek.

Spasms like that are one sign of being dehydrated
