Question 8

i experience painful blood vessels in hands feet,legs and arms,burst veins, cramp, painful spasms in neck, tinitus and tingling in hands and mouth?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: some of your symptoms may be related to your fibromyalgia.  It does not look like you are taking any medication for this.  If you are having swelling/edema in your extremities that can also be a cause for the "burst veins".  Varicose veins can also become inflamed, causing your symptoms.  I would recommend you see your doctor to have these addressed.  There ARE treatments for fibromyalgia!

Vein disease: When  patients have a genetic disease called venous insufficiency, they have venous hypertension and a backward flow of blood called reflux... This causes dilatation of veins, 
and thins out the overlying skin until the vein gets inflamed or ruptures. The leg eould need a compression wrap or even a suture and compression until the underlying condition can be treated either done in office.
