im not sure what it is.. im not sure if its an injury or whatever. like on one of my thighs like between it there are these veins.. and they hurt when i touch them and they kinda poke out, and are darker than the rest of my skin (im black and like average weight) what is the meaning of this? i've been running about 1-2 miles for like 3 days in a row but havent ran the past 2 days. and this wasnt there yesterday so how did this happen? thanks
Additional info, added Friday August 3 2007, 3:17 am: along with the veiny-looking things on my leg there are these dot looking things that look like pimples, which also hurt. ALSO, the veins dont really pop out actually, it just kinda feels that way when i put my hand on the part. so im not sure if its like lacrosse(sP) veins or maybe it is? and how can i fix it? and how did i get it?. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries? katieneedsadvice answered Sunday August 5 2007, 7:22 pm: It could just be a bruise. I have no idea how it could've got there but anyway, maybe you should stop running for a few days(like 2 days) and see if anything changes. If it doesn't you may want to go to a doctor or you parent/s. [ katieneedsadvice's advice column | Ask katieneedsadvice A Question ]

Well, I'm not doctor or anything so I would consider talking to a doctor. I know, it can be a hassle and doesn't seem worth it.
So you're alternative is to stop running for a few days and rest, and see if these veins go back into place and stop hurting. But even if they do, it's still wise to see a doctor.
