Hi all , does anyone know whay large viens would suddenly pop out of the nacks of my legs with little lumps in them? i never had this before in my life and after four weeks in hospital and nd a few weeks mostly on bedrest with some movement i suddenly noticed that my legs werent just aching itchy and sore they had these large and viens and ridges with bulges no discolouration yet but they twitch and kind of wriggle or fluttery feelings all the way up calf and thigh and into buttock and groin on one side , just viens on other side with a little tingleness . they burn and hurrt and look awful , how do i get them to go away and where did they siudenly come from?
The thing that argues against DVT is that it is on both sides at once... that and lack of redness. But maybe the problem is more near the surface veins in your case.
The worst that could happen is that a piece breaks off and travels to the lungs, which is ultra serious. That's called a pulmonary embolism.
I'd suggest a visit to the emergency room ASAP, unless you can get right in to your doctor when you read this. At minimum you could use a blood test called D-dimer, which detects evidence of a DVT.
Don't take this lightly.
