Clamping and Veins

[against_odds21]

I clamped for 10 minutes and 5 mintues about five hours ago. Checking myself out in the shower one of my veins down the right side was inflammed and firm. Is this normal? Just checking. Can never be too safe with that 3rd leg ya know. :cool:

No, that is not normal. You better take it easy with the clamping.

Well its more mildly firm than real firm. I've noticed it before that vein is pretty bulky compared to the rest of mine and has been a litte firm before. I have some lig soreness in the area. That might have caught my attention to the area more in the first place. Non the less I'll take it a little more easy for a while. Take several days off and cut back two sets to five minutes to be safe.

Sounds like you almost thrombosed a vein. Be very carefull, that was one of the reasons I quited PE 2 years ago. Hot massages and blood thiners will help it heal faster.

If the vein is just inflammed and a little firm, it may be okay. The most important question of all: is the vein cord-like? If it's as hard as a cord then it's either thrombosed, or you have a case of sclerosing lymphangitis. I ran into this problem a few months back and it was pretty nasty. I got mine from clamping. Up until then, I had never experienced a vein injury and I've been doing PE sporadically for the past few years.

Still, if you're serious about PE then you're gonna run into this type of injury from time to time. There are many suggestions on how to handle it. I won't go into any of them here. The bottom line is that you have to take time off until the vein loses its cord-like firmness. And if you ever experience any (deep or sharp) pain around where the thrombosed vein is, stop doing any PE immediately. You can only start up again once the pain is completely gone and the vein is soft.
