Answer: Compression and heat If you are using compression, ibuprofen, and a heating pad, and that is not enough, talk to your doctor about a short course of a corticosteroid like prednisone or medrol. They can work wonders. Good luck!

Answer: Pain After Sclerotherapy 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!
