What Causes Prominent Painful Vein In The Leg?
Hello, I am 21 years old and have a vein On my right leg. It is buldging out the side of my leg, and is painful to touch and sometimes even painful to walk on. I recently also started seeing other veins popping up on my leg but none as big and hurting like the one on my right leg. Should I be concerned that this is something more than just spider veins ?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Varicose veins giving this problem.
There is possibility of having some clot in your veins aggravating the condition.
Consult Vascular surgeon and get examined and investigated.
Color Doppler will be much helpful to rule out Deep vein thrombosis.
Meanwhile raise your leg while taking rest to relieve from pain and bulging.
Ok and take care.
