Had sclerotherapy done first week in Dec. Wore compression stockings for 3 weeks. At the 2 week mark or bit less, developed a blood clot an inch away from the feeder vein injection site . Had an ultrasound to confirm it. Dr in emerg said it was a superficial thrombophlebitis. Advised to use warm and cold compresses and aleve if needed. Now in the spot where blood clot was it’s bit red, no pain but skin is warm an tender but no real pain other than both legs feel bit achey. Wondering if I might have something wrong with my blood vessels as the bruising from sclerotherapy is still very prominent 12 /13 wks later
