The veins in the top of the forearms have blood collecting in them are swelling up 7/16" wide. This is very painful as both forearms feel like they have hot burning liquid running through them. There is tingling in fingers and sometimes spots on fingers feel numb. If I inadvertently move my arms during sleep whereas they are bent at the elbows or above my head I can wake finding the arm like dead weight and can barely move it. Have constant leg muscle cramps and large painful varicocele.

It is not likely that the numbness is related to a DVT.However, the prudent thing to do is to exclude DVT with Duplex venous scanning.Seek an ABVLM certified vein specialist.Dr. Karamanoukian
The type of bruising that is shown on the picture is normal. Follow the instructions as given to you by the treating physician, remembering that it is of utmost importance to wear compression stockings for at least 2 weeks and up to three months.Dr Karamanoukian
Bruising is common after sclerotherapy."Hard lumps" implies that veins larger than spider veins were injected with sclerosant solutions.If you have concerns, see the physician who did the injections.Dr Karamanoukian
