This is not a usual scenario, and you should probably be re-evaluated.

You are doing the right thing, wearing compression hose. It possibly could be you have branch vein reflux that was not addressed by the ablation of the greater saphenous main vein. You should return for a thorough lower extremity venous ultrasound to map your veins if it wasn't done during your prior visits.

Your problem is unrelated to the ablation and the proof of that is that your foot problem appeared in both legs, not just the right. Go back to your vein doctor for re-evaluation.

The fact that you have this problem in both feet and only ablation in the right legs makes the two things unlikely to be related. I recommend you see your surgeon and have a repeat ultrasound of both legs. Wearing the hose is appropriate. People who are lean and in good shape often have prominent veins on their feet (and hands) and this can increase as we age.
