Hello, My mother has recently underwent a quadruple coronary bypass surgery after an angiogram revealed clogged coronary arteries. On the whole, my mother is doing fine now, but she is concerned about her left arm. She has no pulse at all in that arm, and blood can't be drawn from the veins in that arm; she doesn't feel any numbness or weakness in that arm though. She is diabetic. Is this lack of activity from the veins in that arm normal either in general or post surgery? Or is this a symptom of another problem?
