EVLT 12 weeks back, Now I am feeling warmth and sometimes burning pain when I stand or sit. Is this issue to be worried?

Vader66
I am 31 year old. I had incompetent SFV and varicosity of GSV in left limb. My doc performed flush ligation and EVLT. I had surgical pains for about 4 weeks. After that I was feeling quite normal. But suddenly from last two weeks (10 weeks after surgery) I am feeling burning and warm in my entire leg. When I stand for 5 minutes there is some swell near ankle on lateral side. I went back to doctor he mentioned it has passing pain and prescribed some tablets. But I am not relieved from pain.
