I have recently become concerned over a very prominent blue vein on my right shin. Sometimes it's raised and sometimes it's not. I've got my self into a state over it being a varicose vein. I really don't want it to turn into one. And I've now become obsessed with keeping my feet elevated or having a cold compress on it. I exercise 3/4 times a week. I'm not overweight and I don't have a job where I'm sitting or standing for long periods of time. But now that I have focused on it my leg is aching all the time. I have to tell myself not to look at it all the time. Once again something is consuming my every thought. I know it's a very superficial worry but I am literally thinking and unfortunately googling it all the time.
