I had vein ablation three weeks ago. My right foot stays swollen and hurts to wiggle toes. Ultrasound shows no clots. I wear compression stockings daily. I elevate legs on pillows at night. Surgeon says swelling might be from nerve irritation. It can take six weeks for full recovery. I ice the foot for twenty minutes twice a day. Pain eases a bit with rest. Hang in there it gets better slowly.

@johnvicky Thank you for the thoughtful response. I will continue on course and take easy on that foot.
I hope your healing journey continues to go smoothly and painless.
