I have vericous veins scattered in various places, but my legs are the worst. If I knock them they hurt, especially one of them on my left leg, which was also the first one to appear. I am overweight, I have diabetes 2 as well as all the ailments I have that also comes under fibro. Xxx

I have loads of spider veins on my legs, and Venous insufficiency in the legs/feet /ankles. I bruise easily as well. I now have to wear compression socks. They do lessen the swelling. You are definitely not alone in having noticeable veins.

Both side's of my family have vericous veins on leg's. I have a moderate case of them. My Mom has them the worst. She had them injected & then removed so they would not travel to her lungs. Phlebitis is what she had. She puts on leg make-up under her stockings. I try not to gain weight, as I yoyo up & down.
