Should these veins be drained post sclerotherapy treatment?

rvoisin
After 10 weeks of sclerotherapy on large veins at the base of the back of my thigh, just above my knee, I'm still experiencing lumps and knots and quite often mild sensitivity. I wear compression stockings for about 9 hours every day. Should the veins be drained?
