I had the clots extruded yesterday after sclerotherapy, but still have 3 clots that I can feel.Don't they usually do ultrasound?

I can still feel bumps-is this normal? Will my body get rid of them? I told the Dr. there still were two lumps and he put gloves back on/reinserted the needle. I think he missed 2 original injection sites, because he didn't feel a bump. Later at home, I felt bumps in the spots he took out and ones he didn't touch. Calling to sched an ultrasound next week since they won't be open. It's a larger vein-halfway up thigh and down to shin area--last year did venefit. Now ankle swollen from wraps above.
