Sometimes a nerve is irritated and can cause pain longer than normal. Sometimes the energy is high and can irritate the surrounding tissues. I would return to your doctor and discuss with them.

After a venefit or laser procedure for vein treatments is performed, it takes a little time for the vein to heal. Three months post-treatment, however, is a little long. Usually, you are talking a few weeks. In your case, my guess would be that your vein either partially reopened or you have some trapped blood in a portion of your treated vein. The result is localized inflammation that can definitely explain your discomfort. A simple duplex ultrasound of your leg can show you the cause. This is also why limiting vein treatments to only a venefit procedure or a laser procedure of your saphenous vein is not adequate care. You also need to address any tributaries or branches that may also be refluxing within the leg in order to make the treatment more beneficial. This is also why follow ups post-treatment are critical to vein treatment success.

That is not normal. I would get another ultrasound exam and possibly a second opinion.
