Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the unbearable pain in legs after sclerotherapy is not a normal counterpart to take as granted. The most common cause is being blockage of venous return through superficial valves of the subcutaneous vessels. It is best recommended to take a Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb vasculature for best evaluation of underlying cause and further management in accordance to that only.
Primary relieving factors:
- Leg elevation while resting
- Continue compression stocking use
- Analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications
- Avoid smoking if involved
- Control of body weight and blood sugar
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
