Sore enlarged vein on on chest. ?????

Went to the doc about 18 months ago with what look like a varicose vein on the right side of my chest. It starts just near my left breast down to just below my ribs. It sore when I stretch and very tender to touch. He had no idea and sent me for tests. By the time the tests were done it had cleared up. And the tests where clear.  Its now returned, my doctor seems to think it may be lymphangitis. He's not sure though. The specialist at the hostpital had no idea..

Anybody else any ideas???

Yes It does sound more like vasculitis.

I,m going to make an appointment to the doc again.

It really is quite sore. No other problems though. general health is good. I,m not overwieght and take plenty of exercise.

I do over 3000 miles a year on my bike..

If I do find out I'll post the answer.


Thanks

What you're describing doesn't sound like lymphangitis. It sounds more like vasculitis. This is an inflamed blood vessel. Look up vasculitis, and see if it sounds like what you're experiencing.
