5 Days post-op. I didn't visit an MD unfortunately and am now worried about these items, especially as I was told the only side effect I could potentially experience would be blisters.

Laser vein treatment
The tingling and slight pain are normal, however if you have significant numbness through the leg, that is not a normal post procedure occurrence and you should have it examined by the doctor who performed the procedure. Your doctor will be able to advise you as to what needs to be done, if anything at all.

Vein Treatment
If enough veins are treated, there can be swelling and this can cause some tingling with the fluid retention. This is not something to be too overly concerned with.

Laser veins
This will sometimes occur after laser treatment. just wait it out and it should go away. sclero typically has less side effect profile but even sclero can cause staining or hyperpigmentation if not done properly.

The symptoms are unusual. It is time to consult an experienced physician for full evaluation of the distribution of numbness and pain to get a diagnosis.
Start with your Family Physician consult.
