Vein ablation

Has anyone had a vein ablation before? I have one scheduled for tomorrow morning and I'm pretty anxious about it. Of course one of my twins spiked a fever last night and I'm still not sure what's going on with her. I'm thinking a UTI since she has no other symptoms but seems to be in pain randomly throughout the day (she's 2.5 and still in diapers so not sure if the pain coincides with when she pees). Anyway, I might have to take her in to urgent care Thursday or Friday depending on how she's feeling but I'm wondering what the recovery is like for the procedure tomorrow. If you had it done, did you have a lot of pain/swelling? I'm on my feet 99% of the day so I'm not sure if that's gonna be an issue or if it's fine as long as my leg is wrapped and in a compression sock. I know the doctor will tell me tomorrow but I would like to hear from other people who had it done and any pointers for a smooth recovery. Thank you in advance!

I didn’t have it done. My mom did. It’s been about a month and half now and she’s still experiencing pain from this procedure. I’m not trying to scare you. Just make you aware. The dr and nurses where she got her procedure done told her it wasn’t painful and it would be a simple procedure. She was in a lot of pain the same day. And for days after. And still is. She was supposed to do both legs but seeing as the first leg was so painful she hasn’t gotten the 2nd leg done. And yes she had both pain and swelling even with the compression socks on.
