Consider vascular: Consider having non-invasive vascular tests run. These are ultrasound (dopplers) that check both arterial and venous flow into the extremities. With swelling and pain with a history of prominent veins, it is important that peripheral vascular disease is ruled out. Talk to your primary care physician.
