Is sclerotherapy for seroma painful?

jackabelle
I developed a seroma to lower back, after 7 weeks of drain, still with varying amount of fluid - 20-40cc daily. Sclerosing therapy - is it painful and how successful is this therapy? the alternative of more surgery to fix the seroma is causing a lot of anxiety.
