Aftercare

After the procedure, you will be given a compression stocking to wear for 10-14 days. You may and should walk immediately after the procedure. Thereafter, normal daily activity is fine, only vigorous activity or visits to the gym should be avoided. You may have some bruising and soreness for 7-10 days after the treatment. This will usually respond to oral pain relieving medication as needed. In very few patients this may be more severe and may be eased with ice packs and rest. Any residual tightness in the leg should also have disappeared by this time.
