I'm experiencing some pain and tenderness behind my knee when I try to straighten my leg, along with a tight feeling and a weird tingling in my foot. I just flew for 21 hours to Australia. Should I be concerned about the possibility of having DVT?

Question

I'm really concerned about something and need some advice. A few months ago, after a hospital stay, the nurse removed the drip syringe from my hand, and they said the vein swelling would disappear in a few days. But it's been over 4 months now, and my vein is still swollen. Sometimes it hurts, and my hand often feels like it's going numb. Could you suggest what I should do next and which type of specialist I should see?

Question

I'm curious about something I've noticed on my right wrist. When I press down on the vein, there's this lump or bubble that pops out. It doesn't hurt at all, but I'm really wondering what it could be. Could this be something to worry about? Any idea what might be going on?

Question

I've just had surgery for my varicose veins, and after finding out about them, I quit using tobacco altogether. Before the surgery, I was pretty into marijuana, and I'm wondering if I start using it again, but without any tobacco, could that worsen my vein issues?
