Suggest Remedies For Recurring Painful, Swollen Veins In The Forearms
I have recurring painful, swollen veins in my forearms. I have had thrombophlebitis in the past, but the urgent care doc told me it was just a bruise. I have been on Coumadin for over 20 years. I know these painful veins are not bruises (because I bruise a lot and these are not the same), but if it is not thrombophlebitis, what could it be?

As per your history is concerned you are right and it may be DEEP VAIN THROMBOSIS so you need treatment for that.please send the picture of the area.
