Has anyone ever had pain in the veins of their forearms? It hurst so badly and makes my arms stiff. It's a strange feeling, but I definitely know that it is my veins. My niece has the same thing. Anyone know what this might be?
I have Printzmetal Angina and am wondering if these are related.

Just being the devil's advocate here, but PMA is spasming of the vessels in the heart. There is no reason, if you are so inclined, that you couldn't have spasming in other vessels in your body also. When I was younger I used to give blood to the Red Cross. Used to frustrate all the phlebotomists as they would have to place my bag on a rocker - my veins would spasm, pain and shut down for anything up to a minute or so and without the rocker, the blood would start to clot before they had taken my donation. I also have the same problem when having blood tests or getting cannulated. I suggest your veins/arteries are hypersensitive - hence the PMA. It has been suggested Karva tablets help with these spasms but would have to be taken regularly and can produce liver enzyme problems. .
