Vein Treatment: Q&A

Is It Varicose Veins?
At my job I walk a lot and lift 1-15 lb objects a lot. I also exercise about 4 times a week, running on the treadmill and doing exercises such as squats and leg lifts. On my right calf there is a slightly raised vein about the size of a mosquito bite. Above it is a longer, slightly raised vein. They are very light in color and not painful. They only are raised when I stand. My left calf is free of any raised veins though. I also have random sharp pains in my calves throughout the day.

Is It Varicose Veins?
Thank you for your question. I recommend visiting your dermatologist or vascular surgeon with experience in leg veins and have the vein evaluated. You may have a little vein inflammation, and support hose will assist in helping to diminish the vein pressure. Eventually, you may need to visit a vascular surgeon to evaluate your entire leg and see if this is a symptom of larger vascular problem in your leg. I hope this helps.

Sounds like Varicosities
Your description sounds like a varicose vein, however, it is impossible to tell you without an exam.
