Swelling And Pain In Right Ankle After Vein Ablation Procedure. How To Reduce Pain?
I have swelling in my right ankle area. It is also painful. In November I had vein ablation procedure to correct vinous congestion. The has increases since the procedure. The doctor has released me to see an orthopedic dr. What do you suggest?YYYY@YYYY
hi, following vein ablation procedure you need to take some precautions like resting for 3 weeks, use of compression stockings etc. if you fail to do any of the above, you are likely to get edema and pain once again. you can either use 6" crepe band or compression stockings which can reduce ankle edema and pain. if they do not respond, consult a surgeon. i don't think it is an orthopedic problem. hope this helps.
