How long until sclerotherapy patients feel better?

You are weighing sclerotherapy and want to know how soon the leg feels better afterward.

Recovery in brief

my.clevelandclinic.org says recovery from vein sclerotherapy does not take long, and that after treatment you can drive home and get back to your normal activities. That speaks to recovery, not to when symptoms ease.

Recovery and relief are different questions

Getting back to your day is one thing. A vein looking or feeling better is another. For background on the conditions involved, see the overview of venous disease, the guide to varicose vein symptoms, causes and treatment, the guide to spider veins and the MedlinePlus entry on varicose and spider veins.

Asking about your own timeline

Ask the clinician what you should expect to see and feel, and when. Readers in Mokena and New Lenox Township should get the same direct answer.

A question worth asking

Ask what result would count as success for your leg, and what you should do if you do not see it. A clear target is better than a hopeful one.
