Legs are aching and veins are still fairly green two weeks after Sclerotherapy. Is this normal?

cafpn
I had sclerotherapy done about two weeks ago and only felt some mild discomfort for the first two days. Now two weeks later my legs are quite achy at times. Also while some parts of the treated veins are clear, others are still pretty green:I thought it could be that the blood stopped circulating through them due to sclero (hence the darker green) but when i wake up in the morning the veins arent visible which means blood has to be circulating through the veins, right?
