What Could Prominent Vein In Ankle With Bluish Tinge Indicate?
I went for a run tonight and my ankle was hurting slightly and also the inside of my lower leg and a couple of hours later I noticed that a vein had become very blue and sticking out slightly. It's quite a thin vein but noticable and it has a sharp pain. Is this something to worry about?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Relates to some compression through shoe edges leading to this condition
* Nothing to worry about
- keep leg elevated over 2-3 pillows when resting
- apply ice 3-4 times a day
- analgesic tab if more pain
- avoid tight shoes / socks
Hope this clears your query.
