Swollen basilic vein at inner elbow of the left hand. This happened 6 months back when i lifted heavy weight in a gym and noticed pain in my left elbow. The basilic vein including the forearm vein became enlarged and could be easily seen from my skin. Meanwhile i recently consulted an orthopaedician and found three small linear tears in insertion of biceps at ulna through Ultrasonography. Doctor prescribed me rest and physio for atleast 6 weeks. And also said swelling in my vein may be because of thrombosis and there is nothing to worry because it's mild. But i am tensed because i see no recovery in my elbow from the last 4 months. The skin where the basilic vein can be seen continues to be swollen. What should i do? Is there anything serious?
