Hello, 3 weeks ago i had laser treatment on my leg veins - i only had superficial very thin red, net -like capillaries over my thighs and some lower legs. I have very fair skin and don't tan at all. 3 weeks post treatment i still have purplish spots at the sites of treatment that are now more pronounced that the veins that were treated in the first place.Will they ever go away ?
I had laser treatment for very small, superficial spider veins on my thighs and the inside of my left knee. It's been 3 weeks and they have not been reabsorbed yet. They also look worse, darker, but no redness around them. They are not infected. Is this normal? I am not overweight and I did not lift any heavy weight or run (I do hike and dance) after the procedure 3 weeks ago. I was told I didn't need to wear compression stockings, so I did not. Thank you.
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!:)
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?
I had the second round of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy three weeks ago, and the largest vein which starts mid-thigh and continues down the front of my leg and around my knee is still there. Not sure if the doc didn't get to the feeder vein or what, but it hasn't gone away after three weeks of the strong hose. Is this a sign of a poor job by the doctor? Or a deeper issue such as CVI? I'm also wondering what the next step in getting rid of this would be. Another round of sclero?
I had sclerotherapy done nearly three weeks ago and I can't tell if veins are improving. Parts of the veins have disappeared but the rest sometimes looks worse, other times a little better .. is this normal? Could the veins still be closing and clotting this far post treatment? My veins get pretty achy at times too, especially in the past week.
Hello, I have been getting sclerotherapy on my legs for the past ten years without complication. I asked my treating doctor if small green veins can be removed from upper arms. He said yes without hesitation and began sclerotherapy, however he injected almost all visible veins in both upper arms. NOW, its been THREE weeks and my arms go completely numb at NIGHT ONLY!! I wake up in pain. I told the doctor and he was not concerned or offered an ultrasound to see the cause. What do you think it is?
