What Causes Prominent Veins In Knee?
I ve noticed this evening my veins are suddenly more visible especially in my legs ankles. this isn t normal for me. I ve not showered yet, haven t been active today, no caffeine or medications. I m 51 & not over weight. I feel fine just nervous over this I just got into bed to read, my leg felt like a crawling sensation just below my knee I got up & noticed my veins are very prominent & on my ankle many new purple spider veins I didn t have this morning. I m making an appointment tomorrow to see my Dr. Should I be worried now?
