So, This is a follow up to my previous question asked about if RFA and Stab Phlebectomy was a good approach for my vein treatment. I got my RFA done on my thigh and stab phelectomy on the remaining bulging veins. My question is that... How long should the pain last? My skin is still tender to touch and still hurts when I run my hand over where the procedure was done. Also, should I wear compression stocking after I remove my ace bandage? Thanks

Answer: Pain after procedure Sometimes the pain can last up to 2 weeks. Compression stockings help post procedure. In our practice, we recommend 2 weeks of compression stocking wear.

Answer: RFA and Stab phlebectomy Most patients after RFA report improvement in their symptoms within one to two weeks following the procedure. It is recommended to wear compression stocking for at least a week and up to three weeks following the removal of the ace bandages and at this time you only need to wear it during the day and not at night. Also, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for two weeks after the procedure. Always follow up with your physician after the procedure for your post op ultrasound scan that checks for lower extremity deep veins patency and closure of the superficial vein that was treated. Also, follow up with your physician for any concerns or questions you may have. It can take up to 2 month or more to see full results for both treatments. All the best,
