Two days ago I had my RFA and Stab Phlebectomy on for varicose veins. Question regarding post procedure and recovery.

Asked By:mirzaa in Nyack, NY

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
