A member asked:

All of a sudden my veins in my feet are popping out i can almost grab ahold of them! why? it's the main veins not the little ones on top

Maybe: Gravity, position, standing on your legs can cause a lot of the vein swelling. If you become painful orbecome excessively swollen you may want to get examined for possible varicose veins or blood clots.
