Leg Pain After Sclerotherapy
While some mild pain, swelling, and redness is completely normal after sclerotherapy injections to the legs, excruciating pain is not. I would recommend that you seek an expert opinion and visit your treating doctor to make sure that you are healing correctly and not experiencing deep vein or superficial thrombosis.

Whenever there is pain in the extremity following sclerotherapy or any vein procedure, re-evaluation is warranted by the injecting physician and also Duplex venous ultrasonography to make sure there is no deep vein thrombosis.

Pain After Sclerotherapy
Hopefully by now you have followed-up with your treating physician, but if one leg is more swollen and painful than the other you could have a clot in a deep vein, which would need an ultrasound to definitively say. This is very rare, but possible and needs immediate attention.

If your leg is significantly swollen, you may also have a dvt. however this is extremely rare. please see your doctor. more than likely its thrombophlebitis as the vein is shutting down it goes through an inflammatory process.
