I had schlerotherapy 6 weeks ago. Everything was fine until a few days ago. My leg has a swollen painful lump and it is getting worse. What could cause this? My veins were on the larger size that were treated

Sclerotherapy

Please see your physician or go to the ER or Urgent Care. This may be a clot and it should be taken care of immediately.

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.
