Another question

After reading the archives I have another ?.  

I've notices in the last 4-5 yrs I have a few dark blue veins starting from my right should and going down into both breasts with a vein ending in my left nipple.  What could this mean?   I've also put on about 15 lbs since foot surgery and was wondering if this could be a cause of the burning and tingling I feel in my left breast.  I had foot surgery in Jan. and started noticing tingling in March.

Dear Sunny5000:  It is normal for veins to be visible.  They can be more or less visible depending on a variety of individual factors.  You should have a discussion regarding your symptoms with your doctor.  I think it is unlikely that your foot surgery has much to do with your breast problems.
