What Causes Vein Prominence With Protrusion And Bruising?
I just noticed that the veins in my hands, arms and feet are very greenish-purple; somewhat bruised looking and they are protruding. This is accompanied with fairly acute calf and ankle swelling. Is this something I should be concerned about or can it wait until my next doctor visit within the next month? I do have a family history of a fatal MI in my father at age 41 and I do have issues with kidney stones and multiple bladder surgeries. Could the swelling possibly be related to either one of those? And if so, would the vein discoloration be related?

Respected Sir, hi it doesn`t seem normal probably, I would advise to consult a physician at earliest and get evaluated for the same rather than waiting for the casual follow up dear. So far as correlation with kidney stones and bladder surgeries its different from that and is not in relation to that dear. thanks, regards
