The vein below my left thumb over my wrist apppears to feel swollen....The Bone along side it is tender. My left wrist feels painful. The pain is exacerbated with movement, use of thumb to do pretty much anything - hold a pencil, turn a knob, lift anything. This pain started approximately a month and a half ago and got worse with use.

good evening...I think what you have is de quervians tenosynovitis. it s not your vein which is swollen. it s the tendon mostly. you can read it on net and see if your symptoms are the same. you can use thumb splints and some painkillers for time being. if it doesn't get better we normally give a steroid injection into the tendon and it gets relieved in two to three days.
