We always say smoking can delay healing. If you want, yes, you can smoke hookah, but I would resist the urge to smoke at all.

I don't think it will make any difference.

Two months after vein ablation I have a hard, painful red knot and swelling on my calf that feels warmer than the surrounding area. I went back two days ago and after scanning the leg, the doc said it was trapped blood. They drew two needles full of dark blood. There is still a painful knot in there. Is this normal? What should I do now?
