What can I do for pain after sclerotherapy for varicose vein? Perforator vein is stinging and aloe vera only helped slightly.

Thank you for your question. Stinging and burning are not common after sclerotherapy. Your symptoms may be caused by the solution that was used. I recommend following up with your physician. In my hands, discomfort after sclerotherapy is uncommon but can usually be resolved with the use of an anti-inflammatory and/or compression garments. Always be sure to do your research and be sure to see a reputable provider. Best of luck to you!

Remember to first follow up with your vein specialist regarding any question or concern post procedure. Communicate closely with your provider for above. As a general recommendation, try to avoid strenuous exercise such as aerobics, weight training, bicycling, or running for one week. Avoid lifting more than 20 pounds for two weeks. Walking is encouraged. Wear compression stocking for a period of 1 week during the day, and stay out of direct sunlight for 3 weeks following the procedure or wear sun block or protective clothing if you are outdoors.
