Hello, I would like to ask you for advice or personal experience. 14 months ago I have undergone foam sclerotherapy and still have very painful lumps in my lower legs. To be more precise not only lumps are painful, only those which are in the lowest part of my legs and which are present I the veins which may be according to my opinion only partly closed (these veins are partially compressible and partly hard to feel). Since there is still intense pain and to certain extend redness a well I am sure there is still inflammation along these lumpy veins. The pain escalates after a period of sitting or standing as my legs swell due to chronic venous insufficiency. I found that cycling and swimming or when my legs are up relieves me from pain. In this respect, I believe this is because it promotes blood circulation and therefore washes away toxic substances from the inflammation around these lumpy veins. I have already visited several vein specialists and the doctor who performed the treatment as well, but most of them according to the duplex ultrasound only said that do not see anything unusual, just a normal post sclerotherapy picture. None of them was able to explain to me why there is still such intense pain along these lumpy veins. I would be very grateful for any idea which helps me to understand, why these lumpy veins are still so painful and when it settles down. Eventually, if there is something which could help me. Based on my personal experience, I would not undergo sclerotherapy anymore because it gave rise to a terrible long term pain lasting up to date almost 1,5 years.

Thank you for connecting with me, I will be happy to address your concern
however, as with any procedure, it does carry some risk and may cause side effects. It sounds as if the vein has become clotted as a result of the foam sclerotherapy. This can happen and is a normal reaction to foam in a varicose vein.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in detail and suggest a proper treatment plan for you.

Varicose Veins is a severe medical condition whereby the veins (mostly legs) become swollen, tortuous and dilated, i.e. the veins become varicosed.

Fatigue, prolonged standing, menopause and a number of other factors can weaken the valves.

This affects the movement of the blood flow. As a result, some of it leaks and flows bac...more
