Vericose / Bulging Arm Veins??? Posted: 05-01-07 01:14am
Ok, so im a male 19 years old. I have a
really big problem with my arm veins...
My arms look fine if my arms are straight
up above my head, or if theyre crossed on
my chest. However, if i let my arms hang
to the side, immediately (within 2-3
seconds) a whole bunch of huge veins start
bulging out of my arms, and they are
really noticable. This is not painful at
all, i dont even notice unless i look at
my arms. This has made me completely
psychotic about my arms and i have to
constantly scratch my head, pretend to
yawl, or do something else that will make
my veins from buldging out. I am the only
one i have ever seen with this condition
in my life. Im not sure if it matters,
but i am 6'0 and only weigh 135 lbs (yes
im really skinny, but i work out so i have
some muscle, but not a lot). I first
started to notice these veins around 14
years old. I used to work out alot and
still work out fairly regularly but not as
much as i used to. Could working out my
arms to much be a cause of this? Is there
any way of treating it without surgury?
Is the key just to gain weight to cover
them up? Please give me some advise...im
tired of worrying about my arms 24/7
