Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Rare cases suffer lymphoedema following Saphenous vein removal .
*For proper evaluation one has to get Doppler Ultrasound of the Venous
system perfectly.
*Till then try to keep legs elevated over 3-4 pillows when resting
*Use compression stocking when ambulatory
*Take analgesics like Acetaminophen for pain relief.
Hope this clears your doubts
