Why would itching occur after sclerotherapy? How often does it occur in patients?
Itching is usually normal, but it depends on time since injection. My suspicion is that you are experiencing healing of sensory nerves that service the treated vessels, and surrounding tissue. This should subside, but may take many weeks to months.
Ask your doctor to show you desensitization exercises.

What can I expect after sclerotherapy in terms of recovery and downtime? Will I need to take time off of work?
There are a lot of ways to manage post-sclerotherapy patients. I just use compression bandages for about 8 hours. You should not have a lot of discomfort after the procedure.
I am wondering if having sclerotherapy on slightly bulging leg veins on shins (not varicose--I have been told they are athletic veins) would be successful--or if it is only successful on spider veins. The nurse who plans on doing the treatment will use a foam solution (detergent) and will use a light to find the veins. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
If the veins are not too large, sclerotherapy should be effective. It may take multiple treatments to achieve the result however. Athletic legs don't preclude the possibilithy of vericosities.
