Foot problems after Sclerotherapy procedure?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

After having sclerotherapy 6 weeks ago, now I am having intense pain in my foot and I am having trouble walking on it. Is this normal? The physician says it is not related to the sclerotherapy or vein stripping I had done on same leg.

Difficult to tell if related. Nerve damage can develop after stripping or EVLT. Usually this results in pain and numbness around ankle and inner forefoot. It should improve with time, but can take up to a year to resolve. I am unaware of this problem with sclerotherapy. Unless a direct injuy to nerve with the needle occurred.
