What Causes Prominent Vein In The Calf Post Self Injury?
Hello I just wanted to ask about veins, I just jumped off my sons bed & bumped my calf and all of a sudden my vein popped up & is very painful but I also remember a while back I hit my hand & my vein also popped up & was very painful the only difference now is that the vein is big about the size of a quarter. What do you think this could be??

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Trauma to the veins can result in swelling, this is part of the body's inflammatory response.
You should consider the application of a cold compress to the area as well as the use of anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen.
You can monitor for now.
I hope this helps
