Spider veins and pain suddenly appearing out of nowhere. what is going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need vein evaluation: Spider veins have many causes including hereditary, pregnancies, aging, trauma and hormonal. If you have new spider veins forming or many veins forming then you should be evaluated by a vein specialist for an underlying cause. A venous reflux ultrasound would be helpful to evaluate the valves in the venous system as well as look for a reason to explain your pain.
