Veins and arthritis: Enlarging veins usually have no relationship to arthritis. There are many reasons for veins to enlarge including aging, genetics, trauma, hormones and sun exposure. There are also several different types of veins including spider veins, varicose veins and reticular veins. If you have a vein problem then see a vein specialist. For arthritis you should see a rheumatologist.
