Hard lump and hard vein after Sclerotherapy; is it normal? (Photos)

kevkay13
Hi, I had Sclerotherapy done 3 weeks ago on spider veins, and I have worn my compression stockings every day. I developed a hard,discolored lump behind my knee.I also developed what feels like a bulging hard vein below my knee. I did not have a spider vein there before. It is not 100 percent hard the whole way through and there is no color. There is a break in the middle that is not hard.Is this normal and will it go away? Also will the lump behind the knee go away if it is not drained?
