A member asked:

What does it mean when you have pain in your wrist and prominent blue veins?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated: The prominent blue veins are probably a separate issue - you just get them as you age (sadly). Pain in the wrist would be a joint or tendon problem especially if you do a lot of repetitive work with your hands. If you fell then there could be a fracture and you might need an x-ray
