Had radiofrequency ablation to close great saphenous vein both legs and now it's causing my foot to swell and pain at incision. any ideas. followup ok?

Not surprised.: One of the side effects of the procedure is edema of the lower leg . There is no specific way to treat this except maybe pressure stockings. The wound site needs to be checked by the doc who did the procedure to make sure there is not an other problem. BEst wishes
