What Causes Swollen Veins In The Legs & Wrist?
Three days ago I noticed swollen, enlarged veins on my lower legs. Today a vein around my wrist bone also enlarged. I am 80 years old and expect such things to happen...but not in a few days. What causes this and what should I do. I do sit and stand a lot and know I should move more.

Respected Sir , yes prolonged standing sitting is going to aggravate your problem so far as possible you have to avoid it to some extent. else you have to keep your feet elevated above 2-3 pillows while resting so that enlarged veins get emptied through that. do normal light exercises of legs and hands , dear thanks regards
