Why would a vein reopen?

Luminous343978
I can't help but feel apprehensive about this procedure. I read a lot of people saying thee vein reopened now there leg swells and there in all kinds of pain that they weren't in before. I need treatment but I also need phelebectomy. Which again I'm highly concerned about. I don't want to have to lose my ability to work after a procedure. Why do the vein reopen and why is pain worse after?
