I had sclerotherapy with foam three weeks ago. Should I be concerned of a blood clot/DVT and/or PE? (photo)

The injection site is large, yellowish and hard like play-doh. My concern is that I have a small area 5 inches to the right of the injection site that is quite tender. I have to walk differently to avoid the discomfort. I am flying out of country in three days and want to know if I should be headed to the ER? Should I be worried about possible embolism? Or is this normal and I simply need to relax, put on my compression stocking and enjoy my trip? Thanks!:)
