Asked By:lthorne81839 in Bournemouth

I recently had sclerotherapy in right thigh on 4cm varicose vein. I was advised to wear a stocking for 4 days but after 24 hours I was experiencing pain in my calf and had to remove it. Now 5 days after procedure, my calf is still throbbing- feels like quite severe muscle strain but will not go away. I went to NHS out of hours service and they told me it can't be DVT as there's no swelling. I still cannot walk on the leg. Can anyone advise me what it could be and how long it could take to clear?
