Thank you so very very much!!!! I greatly appreciate your reply and will continue to watch this situation with care for the next 2 days. As it being a holiday weekend, finding medical help other than going to ER is hard.
HOW do they check to see it its a thrombus??? Do they do ultrasound or do I have to drink a contrast material to make veins show up on x-ray, or what??? Also, should I not do much work with my arms in case it is a thrombus - so that it doesn't break loose! (This scenario makes my hair stand on end). As a former photojournalist and EMT I used my arms a lot in the past, so with my Hep C situation, it also could be faulty valves.Can they fix these??? I feel like I fell apart starting at age 50....but I feel to young to have 'bad' valves in my arms!
Hi
Welcome to the forum!
In all probability, the veins became enlarged or engorged as they are called because of holding the cupboard and bearing its weight. This may cause the veins to swell and subside from time to time for a day or two. However please ask your doctor to take a look at it. There may be faulty valves in the deep veins or there may be thrombus.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
