Post PTCA - Knee Pain & Sleep Issue

2022-01-07 09:28:39
My father got PTCA done to LAD on last week. Since last 2-3 days, he is not getting sound sleep and having severe pain in his right knee with light swelling. He is feeling pain while any joint movement in that leg. Earlier, in such situation, he used to take Calcium pills along with some ointment on knee. But now, we are not sure if we can take calcium along with this medication or not. Please suggest.
