Hi,
I understand your concern regarding your symptoms.
Varicose veins may indeed become swollen appear lumpy, bulging or twisted as well as painful.
The vein valves weaken or are damaged causing blood to backflow. If your varicose veins are causing you pain or discomfort, it is best that you have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Endothermal ablation, sclerotherapy, and even phlebectomy may be indicated.
