What Causes A Visible Painful Vein On The Hand?

Posted on Mon, 24 Oct 2016

Question: Hello,
I went to grab my steering wheel and had a really bad bruised type pain and I noticed my vein was inflamed and painful to the touch. It goes down with in the hour but there is a constant bruising feeling in that area of my hand. That same vein has inflamed like that about 3-4 times a week in the past month.

Thank you. I uploaded a picture to the reports file. Let me know if that isn't coming through. I could not find the image upload so that is why I chose report file. You may not see anything significant because it's not inflamed now. It comes and goes. It is the vein near my middle finger.
