Question 1

16 yr old active male, swollen vein on top of left foot, has occasional minor pain. from wearing sliders? pinched vein?

Accepted Answer

Probably Normal: Swollen veins are common and are visible and do not cause any problems
If you are concerned get it checked by your doctor to be sure

Question 2

dropped glass on my foot & a piece of it made a small puncture. swollen vein & painful. ice & elevated but goes back when i stand up. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: will certainly occur with an injury. Ice early, elevation then warmth later.
The problem is that this presupposes that the injury Stopped occurring. If there is continuing injury, it's going to stay inflamed.
Infection OR a retained shard of glass will keep the area inflamed until it is treated.
Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health

Question 3

i have a sudden onset of about 1.5" of very swollen vein on the top of my left foot - about the width of my pinkie. what could cause this? concerned?

Accepted Answer

Swollen Foot Vein: I am assuming it does not hurt. Sudden onset of vein swelling would be rare. Veins fill up down there when the blood can not be moved upwards towards your heart. Any compression of the veins in the lower leg, like from tight socks or knee braces could do it. Hope this helps some. Dr Rich Blake

how to get rid of swollen vein in my leg?

Accepted Answer

See vein specialist.: Varicose veins are bulging grape-like appearing veins which are most commonly seen on the legs.  These are due to leaking(refluxing) valves usually in the saphenous system.  Some causes include hereditary, pregnancy, trauma and aging.  The gold standard of treatment is to have a venous reflux ultrasound to both diagnose and form a treatment plan.  You should see a vein specialist.
