Something w/ my feet?(not dumb answer)?


Question:
i have these really thick veins in my feet. like you can see them popped out and like you can push it down and feel them. is something wrong w/ me or its something?

Answers:
Nothing abnormal unless they hurt, if you have a hard or painful "cord" or "knot" in your lower leg/behind your knee, or if the veins are only visible in conjunction with swelling of your lower legs and ankles. (If these complaints are present, go see your doctor immediately.)

Some people's veins are closer to the surface than others'; exercise can also make veins more noticeable. Because hands and feet have comparably less body fat than other areas of the body to "hide" the veins, they tend to be more noticeable in these areas, but that doesn't mean they're problematic.

If it bothers you because of the cosmetic effect - the "ropy" appearance - try keeping your feet elevated as much as possible; don't wear too-tight shoes, socks/tights/hose, or pants (including too tight in the waist!); alternate sitting and standing and walking; don't sit with your legs crossed (impedes the normal blood circulation); drink plenty of water; and keep your sodium intake at a normal level (neither too high nor too low - either extreme can cause swelling in the extremities).
I have the same problem. There's nothing wrong with it. Perhaps you have veins in your hands. It's no different.
I have feet like that too. I guess we are normal!
Nothing wrong with you or me or anyone with this "problem" because it isn't a problem. It is anatomy.
its nothing wrong unless it wont hurt or feel pain..
