What Causes Pain In The Veins?

There's pain in both arms. Had it check in my right arm where there is a lump. I was given a deep vein evaluation and they found no blockage and diagnosed it as fat tumors. Now in my left arm wrist area, there is pain and discomfort in the area of my veins. Could there be more to be worried about?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
I dont think there is anything to be worried about. If you have fat tumors or lipomas in one arm it is most likely that you have lipomas in the other arm as well. They are harmless swellings that are extremely common and do not cause any problem. If they cause significant pain, you can get them removed by a small operation under local anaesthesia. But only if it is very troublesome. Do not bother - It does not mean that you are fat. These tumors occur in all body types and all body weights. Take care and feel free to ask again.
