Suggest Remedies For Broken Vein In Lower Left Arm
Have broken veins on left lower arm and hand and swollen. Look like small spider veins but I have many. Have seen vascular doctor but he had no idea. It is swollen in fingers also. Arm looks purpleish. Had MRI but did not show blockage. Where do I go.

Hello,
The broken veins can be part of telengiectasis of the subcutaneous vessels and not actually broken veins, but look like the same. I would like you to discuss the need of an ultrasound of the upper limb artery and venous system for best possible evaluation and further guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
