The problem was the dead muscle was slowly poisoning his other organs, causing pain, and risking a heart attack. However, his girlfriend Stacy agreed to have the dead muscle removed instead while House was in an induced coma to deal with the pain. The delay in diagnosis led to the pain and the surgery to the muscle has led to weakness in the leg.
