I had the venaseal procedure done, immediately following the procedure while still on the table my legs got red, hot, swollen and began to burn.I was told that this is normal.My symptoms began to worsen and 2 days after the procedure, the dr called to tell me that i was having an allergic reaction to the venaseal product.I was put on steroids and while on the steroids i had another allergic reaction to the product where my face swelled and i developed hives over my entire body.I was told at this time that other people have had allergic reactions to the venaseal product.I was on steroids for 7 weeks.Now that i am off the steroids for over a year i still have burning, itching, numbness, tingling and swelling in my legs and now my feet.I have darkening of my skin where the product was injected and i have now been diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (crps) in my legs and feet.
