155701 tn?1230047101 For several months I've noticed deep blue veins on my upper thigh. When I lean against something (like the bathroom vanity), it feels like a big bruise. These are not spider veins or varicose. They look like normal veins except that they're very noticable and only on the upper region of my right thigh. I wouldn't be worried about them except for the fact that they feel like a bruise. Any ideas?
2020005 tn?1628125976 I noticed over the past few days I have one pretty long vein in my upper thigh that sticks out, not much, but you can feel it from touching my thigh, you can see the blue in it, but it's not deep purple, like the classic "varicose vein" just one pretty long, thick vein sticking out...is that normal or something I should mention to my doctor? I'm kind of worried about it being something more serious!

1138687 tn?1548643978 This is most alarming to me because now I am noticing when I sit in my car I feel my veins on my thigh touching the seat and as a 31 yr old this is alarming and uncomfortable. I feel I should have never been this hard on my frail body! Anyway, I know struggle makes us beautiful so i am not complaining, but I also believe that we shouldn't jump into harms way. Thanks for your support and MH should have a varicose vein forum. wth.
1254673 tn?1270647844 I have had leg pain in the past, and have had nerve conduction, and ultra sounds done on my legs, they finally decided that it is probably varicose veins. However this thigh pain is much worse, and different. What can I do to relieve this pain?

Avatar f tn Hello~If you haven't already done so, I would make an appointment to see your GP, it may not be serious, but then again, it could be a circulation issue that needs to be taken care of.
9062499 tn?1426957962 Ouch: getting annoyed with these varicose veins. They wont let me stand for more than 10 mins. Any mommies out there who knows how to deal with them? I would really appreciate it.
Avatar f tn They are spendy but they have helped so much. They take the pain away in the groin, upper thigh, and ankle where they hurt the most. If you subscribe to the newsletter you can get them for 10% off. They were $58 after discount. Also, I have heard lemongrass essential oil helps and also cypress essential oil. Another thing, I ice mine st night and it helps with the pain too! Good luck to all of us! Temporary pain for a beautiful package in the end!
Avatar n tn I never knew the pooling of blood in this leg from the varicose veins contributed to my leg cramps, but apparently that was my culprit.
Avatar f tn I a 30 years old I currently have terrible varicose veins in both upper legs running down to my feet. I am on hospital waiting list but it's three years and as i have no money to go private I have to just bear it. I wear compression stockings most days. The problem is I am a boxer in training and every time I train the veins get worse. Every night I extend my feet up to let the blood flow back down.
Avatar m tn Hello there. I am a 37 yr old chef, and work on my feet constantly. I have been through quite a bit in my life and have a very high pain tolerance, and also am pretty good about waiting things out. That said, I have a suddenly bulging vein that runs the course of my inner left leg the is not discolored, but hard and painful. I am aware of the movement of blood throughout the leg, I can feel it rushing,. It has gone cold and then tight and then cold a few times.
1299624 tn?1332803936 I have a large varicose vein on the back of my left thigh. Two weeks ago, I had major surgery and this vein is very tender to the touch and hurts somewhat when I walk. Is this from the lack of exercise because of my surgery or could a blood clot be forming? Note: I see no redness, swelling etc that would be a sign of a blood clot.
Avatar f tn Seems like we share a few common things besides varicose veins. Only discovered I was preg at 14 weeks and am 27 weeks now and wld really want vbac but read somewhere saying they usually start inside so was also worried about obstruction of baby.
Avatar f tn Just recently the right leg has started to develop noticeable veins in the back of the calf as well as the inside of the thigh. Not to bad yet though but is definitely getting worse. I also have noticed vericose veins in adomen. 2 veins, one coming up each side. They also seem to be growing slowly. I also have very prominent veins in my arms, hands and feet. My legs and feet get very soar when I stand still and I almost always need to put my feet up after walking.
Avatar n tn I've got varicose veins this time my doc told me to get compression socks but they are expensive! For those of you who have had them do the socks help? I don't want to spend all that money on them if its not gonna help.
Avatar f tn Lately the area behind my knee and my thigh have been aching. No physical activity recently, just this nagging pain. I looked and there is a small dark blue vein on the back of my knee. You can't see any other veins just this one, it's not a spider vein, normal sized just very blue. Is this a sign of a DVT or possibly just a forming varicose vein?
Avatar f tn I hadn't noticed until today, as I was shaving my legs, that my varicose veins are multiplying and becomeing quite prominent. I read they are mostly on inside and calves of legs. Mine are on outside of legs, knees, and thights. Could these be caused by the spasticity? Just curious if this needed added to timeline. .
Avatar f tn Hello, Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. Varicose veins are common in the superficial veins of the legs, which are subject to high pressure when standing. Besides cosmetic problems, varicose veins are often painful, especially when standing or walking.They are often diagnosed based simply on the appearance of the veins.Confirmatory tests are Doppler ultrasound and angiogram.You can get it confirmed from a vascular surgeon and after getting these tests done.
Avatar f tn I have a blood blister that I discovered at 16. It was small (about the head of a pin) when I first found it. I popped it, thinking it would drain and heal. Over the years, with each popping, it has grown to about the size of a pea. It's been here (on my middle inner thigh) for 7 years now. It's not painful, but if it's rubbed, it pops and it bleeds a lot, for 30 minutes at least.i have varicose veins, so I know my veins are not circulating well.
Avatar n tn Hi, I know it is difficult for you ,but you should take rest for a few days and massage the using a topical gel which will relax your contracted muscles.Also note if threre are any varicose veins which may also be causing the pain.You should do yoga ,it will help you.If the pain persists even after a week,you should see an orthopedician.
Avatar m tn Varicose veins usually result from failures in valves in veins connecting the superficial veins to the deep system in your legs. This is a mechanical problem. No medicine can restore this function. Horse chestnut extracts have been studied and appear to decrease the swelling due to venous insufficiency but the appearance is unchanged.

Avatar m tn Aside from the red color, there is also a varicose veins who is slowly grow on the birthmark affected leg, so I just thought that it is connected to my birthmark too, b/c why is it that there's no varicose veins on my right leg which doesn't have a birthmark, its swelling and aching. I wish that their will be a kindhearted one or a doctor who could help me. If there will be a trial medical surgery, then I would be the first to volunteer myself for that trial.
1138687 tn?1548643978 Hi, I am wondering why there isn't a varicose veins forum!? Where else might I post my varicose veins concerns? I posted in the Deep Vein Thrombosis forum but noticed it is rarely used. I'm not certain but isn't DVT a result of varicose veins? And if varicose veins are more common, with DVT being a side affect, then Why not change that forum to Varicose Veins? Regardless shouldn't there be a forum for varicose veins?
Avatar f tn About a week ago, (not certain when it started showing up though) I discovered a lump on my inner thigh near my groin. It feels solid/firm and is discolored. It doesn't hurt or cause any sort of soreness. One source said it might be varicose veins, but I'm not sure. Any advice is helpful.
