Question: i ha a problem with my vien , varicose its called and later had a radio frequency ablation done , i was recommended to be walking alot and bn in stockings but after some weeks i started feeling pains , i want to know if its normal to feels pains in leg instead of its healing
Brief Answer:
I would recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg veins.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that feeling pain may be normal during the healing process.
Anyway, you should know that sometimes some small veins may persist after this procedure, and they may lead to pain and swelling in the leg, because of the persistence of blood flow in them.
In such case a less invasive procedure (sclerotherapy) may be needed.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels in order to examine the veins and exclude this possible complication.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Wishing all the best,

Hello again!
Yes, regular physical activity and sports are recommendable during recovery.
The pain is supposed to decrease with time as healing is complete.
But, if there is persistent pain and swelling in the leg, it may be necessary to perform a Doppler ultrasound in order to exclude the presence of persistent blood flow in some small veins which may need sclerotherapy later.
