Feeling a tingling and mild pain in the areas on my ankles where the procedure was done, so I assume I had some nerve damage. My swelling is way worse than it was before the procedure. I am 37 years old, non-smoker, healthy eater, I exercise 4x/week. Kidney, liver functions and blood pressure are great. My doc says there are no blood clots and veins are closed, so it must be something else. Why is the swelling now so much worse than before? Can it be from inflammation from the damaged nerves?
