Hello.
Just wondering if anyone has had this and if I need to worry panic and catastrophise.

My left calf now has a really blue vein and if I sit with it for any length of time, it kind of pulls and is a wee bit sore, like it's being stretched. It kind of comes and goes. And feels quite stiff. It's so long post-vacc that I'm thinking it can't be a side effect, surely? The alternative is that I am growing a lovely varicose vein 😰. My other leg is fine but I get some occasional 'fizzes' of pain that last just a few seconds. Trying not to freak out!

It's so hard when all the beautiful Olympians are on telly doing amazing stuff and I'm potentially on the cusp of feeling like an old woman. I'm not even 40 yet!

Yes this happend to me 2 weeks after moderna , both lower legs were swollen and i could see loads of veins, my right calf was massive, painful and felt very hard, i wore some compression socks for sleeping and put some blood thinning medication on my legs, i have low platelet count so i think i can get blood clots easily. I mentiond this to gp but she was not concerned, i had my second moderna 3 days ago and i am not feeling great, i have a massive bruise on my arm and still cant lift it after 3 days.

Always check with these things with GP.

Definitely check with GP!

Hmm, that all sounds very similar!
I went for a short run last night and it seemed to make it so much better. Did you get prescribed your blood thinners? Wondering if I should ring a gp? Hope you feel better soon and thank you Flowers

Yes!! I had this on both ankles but particularly the right. Well inner feet more like. Weird popping out tender varicose veins for the first time ever. 3 weeks after moderna first dose.

My family say oh it's nothing, or that they have veins like that too etc, but I know myself FFS I know for a fact I never had them before. Just popped up overnight.

I'm 34, healthy weight and active lifestyle, no change in lifestyle around the time.

They are still popped out nearly a month after they started but not tender any more.
