Can The Resistance Bands Attached To The Ankle Cause Rupture Of Veins?
I was working out with resistance bands for my legs and the resistance band attaches with a strap around my lower calf/ankle area. After a few workouts, I noticed a large vein has popped out (3 inches) of my left calf and is a bit sore. Could the straps have caused this rupture . I am a 48 year old female, in great shape with no vein issues. Or, am I suddenly old and dealing with new health issues. I am wearing compression socks in hope it will alleviate this problem. Thank you in advance for your response.

Respected madam, hi great to hear about your work out and body maintainance rhythm. congrats, keep it up. what large vein you are noticing is not rupture madam it`s venous prominence after compression effect for sometime. secondly you are not getting suddenly old and you don`t have any new health issues. relax it would be fine in sometime keep on wearing compression socks but beware not much tight. thanks regards dear wishing you a happy healthier life ahead and may God keep you young till your last breath bye because in my personal view I look upon youngness not from age years but from within our sole and heart .Bye thanks for reading very carefully. take care
