Is it normal to feel pain 10 days after foam sclerotherapy?

Asked By:mada.szabo in Brasov, 09

I wore stockings for 5 days and didn't feel much pain. Now, at night I take them off. My veins got a bit swollen where the procedure took place and my leg hurts, I can't walk naturally. Is this normal? My doctor is out of town for 3 more weeks. Can I wait for an appointment until then or should I call him immediately? For how long should I take ibuprofen? Can I apply a cooling gel (horsbalm) to the affected area? Thank you!
