Trying to decide if I should proceed with EVLT and microphlebectomy?

soccermums
I am in my early 40s and am scheduled for EVLT and microphlebectomy on one leg with a reputable surgeon. I am however having second thoughts as I am concerned about chronic pain and discoloration. I am not bothered by my veins symptomatically right now (other than the cosmetic appearance) so I don't want to cause problems unnecessarily but I am also concerned about worsening of my venous disease given my strong family history. Is prolonged pain (weeks to months after procedure) common?
