Libby Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've been trying to be more active recently. I played volleyball today, and it went super well - I only got presyncopal once, haha - but now my veins are seriously aching. Arms and legs. I get some aching every day, usually at night, along with some pooling. Legs mostly, but arms and hands sometimes too. Never something I can't deal with.This time is pretty bad though. I can move, but it's difficult. Goes away when I lie down. Has this happened to anyone else after exercise? I imagine the ball hitting my arms didn't help, but it's happened before to a lesser extent so it can't be all that. Any suggestions? Compression garments, maybe? A cold shower afterwards? I'd like to keep exercising, especially playing vball, but this isn't too fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer65 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hi LibbyI have terrible pains after exercise especially in my upper arms and thighs. I also experience fatigue during exercise, my muscles feel like lead and I feel nauseated. I don't just find this after exercise but housework too.I am a ballet teacher so these symptoms very challenging! I can demonstrate slow controlled movements but anything that requires jumping or exertion is impossible, thankfully I have some lovely older pupils who are helping me.After teaching I massage myself with a little oil and take a warm bath and then stretch, it doesn't take all the pain away but it does help enough that I can get to sleep.

KaoruZ Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have that problem, too. I went to my cardiologist and asked him about it. As most of us know, that did very little good. He just said I was looking at my veins too much. I was looking because they hurt! Especially my hands and feet. I can't let my hands fall down to my sides anymore. I hope you find the answer!

Sunshinegirl Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I cant believe that he said you were looking at your veins too much!!! So, today I was speed-ish walking and then got in the shower and one of my veins popped in my wrist. It didn't happen by looking at it too hard! I didn't hit it or do anything...it just popped and made a huge linear bruise.Yes, this happens to me. Epsom Salt baths work good but I don't like to be that hot.
