What Could Cause Pain From Vein In Forearm Past Elbow?

I have had a pain for a while in my right arm around my elbow. But today, I realized a vein getting darker and I felt that the pain was coming from the vain. The vein is about 6-7 inches long, stretching from my forearm to a little bit past my elbow. What could that be?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief description of your history

a thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

also, the change in the vein color can be due to any factor which is unknown. So without a thorough assessment it will be difficult to mentioned. the pain can be due to other factors which needs a thorough assessment. post assessment if the pain is due to vascular insufficiency then treatment will be directed that way if the pain is neuropathic than the pain management will be different.

hope you will get it assessed and come closer to a diagnosis.

regards
