Vein pain

[barberashely]

I'm not sure where to post this... Today I noticed both of the main veins in my arms ( like the big vein that goes vertically down your forearm) are sore. Like especially when I stretch my arms out. I pressed around to try to see if the pain is localized to the veins and it is. The veins hurt when you press anywhere on them, Like a bruise feeling. They also seem more noticeable than normal but I could be over analyzing on that. They're definitely noticeable though. I haven't been lifting anything that would make them sore and my muscles don't hurt, just the veins

This could be caused by a number of problems and it is difficult to know which one for sure without knowing more about your history and doing a physical exam.  However, focally tender veins can be indicative of thrombophlebitis (actually inflammation of the veins themselves), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or superficial vein thrombosis; all of which should be evaluated by a physician and treated if necessary.  Hope you are feeling better.

Any number of conditions can cause this! I suggest seeing a Vascular doctor to get it checked.
