A member asked:

I have had this off and on thing happening w/ a vein in my middle finger on my left hand for about a week. it is not swollen.. its throbbing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's very hard: to make a diagnosis without seeing your hand and getting a little more information. if it doesn't get better on its own you should see a physician or schedule a virtual consultation so someone can at least see a picture of your finger.
