General Surgeon,  's  Response
Was your leg purplish with white blotches when you started the treatment? Is there any pain in the leg? or has the pain increased from before? If yes then you should get it checked by Vascular Surgeon to be sure. Has the swelling regressed or remains the same? With successful treatment the swelling should come down. If not then you should get a repeat Color Doppler done. Take care
