How To Treat Hard Lumps On Front Of Lower Leg After A Work Out?
Hi, I have hard lumps on the front of my lower leg. I noticed them yesterday after my workout. I've been lifting a lot of weight when muscling my quadriceps and I think it may be related to that. Though it doesn't hurt I'm a little worried. At first I thought it was varicose veins, but since they are on the front of my leg I'm not sure. What do you think it is?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
From your description, the most probable reason is varicose vein indeed. It may be present in any location on the lower legs. It should be less visible when lying down, and appear when standing. Varicose veins are soft in touch.
I suggest you to visit your doctor and have Dopplers veins ultrasound. In case of veins insufficiency, surgery should be considered as varicose veins in some cases can lead to veins thrombosis.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
