Vein Above Eye Inflamed Immediately After Sculptra?

jennyct
The vein above my eye is literally "popping" out after sculptra injections. I have read that it can cause occlusions, embolism, etc. in rare instances. Do I have to worry about that? I am getting shooting nerve twinges, but I am not too worried about that. Are either of these concerns common (popped out vein and/or twinges of nerve pain)? Am I overreacting?
