The vein in my arm?

Question:

Okay, well, I have a very dominate vein in my upper right arm. It's actually, my largest vein in my body. When I work out my arms, it sticks out very prominately. Sometimes it will stay that way for days. Is this because my skin is tightening around it? I mean, is it okay?

Answers:
that's a good one. I think veins stick out based on how often you use the muscles surrounding it--more activity, more pronounced. less body fat will also do it. it should be okay.

I have the same thing on my forearms, when I work out it's like BAM! I like it though :D

No worries. I have one that does the same thing and has done it for over 40 years. Keep working out its so good for you.

I know someone like that ..and she dose some exercise
too .it doesn't bother her any ..she is always happy ..lol

that has happend to me before, but usually in my hands, maybe the more active you are the more they stick out.anyway, i wouldn't worry.

don't worry about it

It could be an indication of your high level of fitness, but if you're concerned about it, go see a doctor.

Veins usually seem to stand out more when you've been using the muscles around them. The big vein in your arm may look the biggest, but is not, only biggest you can see. It is no big thing unless it hurts.
