2 weeks ago my hands felt like they were scalded. It also went up my right arm. Since then the veins on my hands have been bulging. New ones appear every day and more blue is prominent on the inside of my arms.
I have issues with my upper spine and think I have a pinched nerve. I have had a wray and it shows not diac left in 4 of my upper vertebrae 3-7C. Am scheduled for a MRI on my spine but am concerned because tyhese veins seem to be travelling. Jave also had tingling where it feels like something is on your body, (head and back) but there is nothing there.
Please help!

Oh my goodness... how soon is your MRI, and can you get a sooner appointment with a doctor if it will be a while? Do you see a chiropractor? I really recommend you at least call your doctor's office for professional advice or visit a clinic like MedExpress (if you have those where you live), as soon as possible. If it looks like your veins are bulging and new ones are appearing rather quickly... well, this doesn't seem normal, and you definitely need to find out what is happening. I could guess a half dozen things that could cause that besides a pinched nerve, but it's not my place to diagnose--if you aren't able to see a doctor today, please at least check your yellow pages or Google for a local medical advice hotline, if you don't already have a service like this through your insurance.

I hope you get better soon--that sounds annoying at the very least, and definitely a matter for concern.

Thank you for your response and am now really nervous. Is freaky watching the nerves bulge up and move. Shen I put them above my heart they go normal.
Have a appointment on ovt 13 for a physical and have x-rays done on my chest full spine hands wrists and feet. The doctor is being thorough but my hands seems to be changing quickly the past few cays. Any doctors out there reading? Please help'

Aww. Definitely don't work yourself into a panic or anything just thinking about it, because that won't help anything. It's good that the appointment is coming up, and hopefully a doctor will be reading and can offer some good advice. If you don't hear from anyone, I'd still try to just call in to your regular doctor when his/her office is open (try calling now even if you expect they're closed, many have an emergency number on the answering machine, and if you are that concerned, call that, or just get to the ER). I am sure they can recommend whether you need medical attention right away, or if it's something (like you said, maybe a pinched nerve) that can wait till the 13th. Check back in and let us know how you're doing. :)

PS - I just noticed you said how quickly they've changed in just a few days... so I would even more strongly recommend calling one of those emergency numbers, or your local ER to get their thoughts. Better safe than sorry.
