Swelling and pain after sclerotherapy -Emergency
Please see a physician immediately to rule out thrombosis. This is a clot formation and can be life threatening.

Swollen and painful after leg vein injections
Call your doctor immediately. If it is a small lump it may be localized to one small vessel, it could be a bruise, hematoma but it could be a larger clot with inflammation. If you can't get hold of your doctor you may need to be seen urgently elsewhere, even in an emergency room, to ensure you don't have phlebitis.
