I had RF closure on my right leg in February. I developed a blod clot that was dealt with, I had to take shots in my stomach. But ever since the surgery I have had burning pain in my leg from the knee up. I have been to the Dr many times following the surgery, have had many untrasounds, and he said the pain is caused by superficial phlebitis. I am waiting to have injections in the remaining veins and he said he can't do the injections until all pain in gone in the leg from the phlebitis. My question is should my leg still be like this after 3 months? This pain is worse than the vericose veins. I have done the anit-inflamatories, warm compresses, and walking daily. Also, my leg is still discolored around one of the areas of where he inserted the catherater, approx a 6"x6" area. Also, I have numbness in small areas, no feeling. I had vein stripping approx 7 years ago and I did not have any problems. This surgery was supposed to be much more effective and easier, it has not been. I read up on it before I had it, and what I have read and what has happened to me are nothing of the same. Even the Drs. nurse said this just dosen't happen. The bruising after the surgery was unreal. I was bruised from my knee to the groin area, from the inside of my leg all the way to almost the outside of my leg. It was hard to look at, that is how bad it was. The Dr. even said most people bruise like they have bumped their leg. I am at wits end with this pain. I have another appt. this month to have the injections and I will not be able to have them because of the pain, but I think I am going to the appt. and have him look at this again.
