Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The issue of bulging vein on wrist most likely is ganglion wrist, which should be addressed with your consultant surgeon for final diagnosis and further management. Till that time, avoid weight lifting with left hand, avoid excess typing on computer which requires repeated angulation of the wrist. Heating pad application will soothe the issue much better.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
