24 weeks pregnant. temperature 99.1. visible blue vein in leg below knee causing dull ache and pinching like pain, bothersome enough to prevent sleep.

Varicose vein: Sounds like you have a varicose vein and since it is visible its a superficial one (much less concern). That temp is not a fever by the way. Try a heating pad over the vein and tylenol (acetaminophen) for the pain. If you have red around the vein that however would mean infection and that would require further evaluation. Have your OB provider evaluate that area to see if TED hose are needed.
