How long does swelling last after vein ablation?

September 15, 2018
Asked By:Carys in Layton, UT

I recently had GSV ablation done on both legs (L leg a little over a week go, and the R leg three days ago). I have swelling on the inner knee in both legs and am curious how long this can last. I don’t have a ton of pain, bruising, or discomfort, so I’m hoping this is a normal side effect that will diminish as time goes by.
