What Does Swelling On The Left Foot Indicate?

Hi,I had injections today for my veins,I had the procedure extensive done last year,but the smaller veins are back,and trying to open the veins the Dr.closed.My one leg,which had 10 vials injected last Wednesday went pretty well,but today I had 8 in the other leg,and only 2 in the leg that was injected with 10 last week.My left foot,and toes are swollen quite a bit.I am wearing the special stockings,and have to leave them on for 48 hrs.Is Is it normal for one foot to swell that much and the other one is normal that had the injections today.I see the Dr. tomorrow,and he wants to do 10 more injections,between the 2 legs.Could I be having an allergic reaction to the medicine that was injected?I am allergic to a lot of the antibiotics,and certain foods,.Thank you,I am just not sure if I should get the other injections with my foot being that swollen.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The swelling of the foot mandates underlying cellulitis or other condition. I do not recommend further injections until the current condition is cured totally.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
