Don't really know what forum this should go in to but here it goes.

I can't tell what they are exactly, but they are seem like massive veins, I got 1 each in each leg. They are right along my shin bone on the outer side of my leg. Normally you would think this is a good thing right? Well here is my issue. If I go run these bumps that you can normaly fill start to hurt after about a half mile and get literally huge. About an inch in diameter. They start to hurt and my legs fill like ballons. I can barely run and then turns into an extremely slow walk as I drag my self home. They also get fairly big when I workout doing squats, leg presses, etc, but do not hurt.

They started about last summer but never with any pain getting slowly bigger and bigger but I was fairly active at cardio. I stoped cardio for about the past 3 months on a bulking phase and now I am getting back into it? Am I just being a girl and need to suck it up?

Just want some oppinions if other people seem to have these before going to the doctor. Don't know if my insurance will cover something like this. I wouldn't figure they would be blood clots but that is my biggest worry. I am almost 21 and it seems abnormal. Diet is fairly clean and supplements just include aminos, vitamin c, and b complex.
 
Sounds like an anomalous venous drainage system. Possibly incompetent vein valves. Get it checked, may be precursor to varicose veins.

Going this thursday so I'm really wishing they aren't anything serious.

I'll post thursday and let you guys know the update.
 
bah sorry. just now getting online.

Basically varicose veins that are are just enourmous and something I have to live with unless I want to go into surgery and have some nice scars. Nothing life threating, just got to live with it. I will take some pictures here at may once I get more shredded and you will see how big they are.

I know dudes don't like to wear "hosery", but they have some awesome special stuff designed to help with that. I sure would say who cares what folks think & would juat wear the things.
 
The surgery is easy and effective, minimal scarring. The procedure is actually called "stripping". But the down side is you wont be able to train for a month, maybe 2. Now thats not good for size.
