I had scelerotherapy done one week ago in the large branch vein. It is now swollen and very painful in both legs. What could that be?
Following sclerotherapy of larger veins clotting can occur in these veins and it will usually occur about one week after the treatment. If this occurs the best treatment would be to evacuate the clotted blood with a small needle. This can be done with local anesthesia. In addition, wet heat to the area and ibuprofen would help. Follow up with your treating physician.
