I have has lots of bug bites around my ankles, unsure where I came from we didn t have to worry about ankle biting bugs. Since last Thursday my inner right ankle vein the one that runs right over the bone swells if I have my foot down it begins to hurt it I try to do things like yard work. The first day I noticed it I felt a pinch right in the area of the vein that hurt when I looked at the vein I saw it was enlarged, I iced it at work when I got home from work I started taking aspirin regime to thin the vein is not as hard as it was, I m only taking two aspirin a day due to my history of Stomach ulcers, I heat and elevate it as well. The pain seems to be moving to the otherside of the ankle.
