Veins: Blood in veins being deoxygenated looks purplish normally. Veins should not be painful unless they are inflamed(phlebitis) in which case they would be hardened and tender to the touch. My guess is that her hand discomfort is due to other causes such as sprain,contusion,etc. A physician will need to examine her if symptoms persist or if redness or swelling develop.
