Asked By:Sky34 in Nova Scotia, NS

It has been 2 days since sclerotherapy treatment for superficial spider veins. I trusted the doctor,a surgeon for varicose veins. A horrible experience,abrupt,never cleaned my legs with alcohol,no gloves,nurse didn't know how to apply tapes after injections and the treatment was painful. I couldn't sleep due to swelling and pain in the feet. I Asked to see the doctor but could only talk to nurse. She said everything was normal. I have extreme bruising ,hard bumps and a big lump under the skin.
