Great News!  Did they tell you to put heat or ice on it?  I would want it GONE if I were you.

I have one of those vein bumps in my leg too.  They are caused by HPB and can develop into varicose veins.  My doc told me the best way to prevent them is to keep my blood pressure down and exercise.  You can only feel mine now, but apparently it's not too difficult to remove it if it gets worse.

Susie you are probably "sitting" at the computer too long at one shot.  Make yourself get up every 1/2 hour or so and walk.

Omygosh girl, hope you are feeling better... Did they tell you to put heat on it and to keep your leg elevated? Maybe I need to send you some homemade goodies to make you feel better.. ;)

Take care of yourself

Nope, he didnt tell me anything like that, just told me if i had started getting any symptoms (fever, chills, sweats)  to go in A.S.A.P.  oh, and he did also say that if i had any friends who could bake me some goodies, that might be the best medicine :P  ::)

 OK OK, so he didnt say that, sheeeesh, didnt hurt to try  ;)

So glad you got that sorted out.  I used to have problems with DVT.  I am glad they found yours in a superficial vein.  Lots of love to my Goofynina  :cuddle;

So if I say I don't feel good, will you send me some treats, too?  Chocolate chip cookies?
