Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Vein In The Elbow

A vein inside my right elbow crease has suddenly become very large and uncomfortable. I am a very active 41 year old woman. I recently lost 13 lbs and my body fat is down to 10%. I don t seem to be having any problems with the hand but just using the arm is uncomfortable because the vein is so swollen.
