Visible Veins?

Why all of a sudden would I be able to see all the veins(blue)in my feet, just the last 2 days. They're not swollen at all, which is actually weird cause they usually are in this heat. My hubby freaked when he saw them, he said last time he saw that his bro had blood poisoning from a bite. It does seem weird. Do you see this in sci peop's? I'll go to the doc, but I thought I'd ask you guys first. I do have a uti right now too, any connection? First one in a long time, & charlie is 2 wks early, weird also

Anywho any ideas?

Seeing your veins when your feet are not swollen may mean that from a blood flow perspective, your blood is having a tougher time getting back to your heart. That should decrease when you elevate your feet. Should not be related to a UTI.

You lucky Monkey

My veins disapered after sci, became very tiny.

It takes numerous attemps to catch them just for simple blood test
