I am curious if it is just a coincidence or related to opening up the veins...

Could be the dye - my dh had the exact same reaction the evening after having a CT scan that involved the same contrast material. It went away after 24-48 hours. Hopefully that is all it is!

I'm so sorry you're having difficulty! Will you be able to get checked for restenosis? Is there anything else going on (are you sick)?

It could also be a herxheimer reaction.

I wonder if your d-dimer is high. My d-dimer was high and I had no PE. Apparently a high d-dimer can be associated with an MS relapse, so that may not be reliable. But you would definitely not want to miss an embolism!
What's the situation now?
Sorry -- editing for a question -- when you say vein checks, do you mean a new venography, or a doppler or some other noninvasive test?
I'm so sorry about your symptoms. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a major complication for you.

Daytrader....wishing you answers and anticoagulation! Keep us posted. Thoughts go out to you. These kind of complications are the reason I keep hoping people can stay local (for people who don't know medical lingo- PE is pulmonary embolism) Follow-up is essential.
take care-
cheer
