Hi there...I am new here and trying to understand the whole TOS thing. I just recently got diagnosed with it (being severe). I too have enlarged veins that are pronounced through my right arm. My hand and forearm to the elbow is just unbelievable. I haven't gotten and explanationas to why other than it can be seen with TOS. My kids get freaked out every time they see my hand becase my veins are buldging. I even get a little freaked out over it. Not sure if it's anything to worry about...I think it's just a symptom.

Best of luck to you.

Best to contact the dotor to make sure you are having no problems with blood clots, as in arterial TOS.
But it sounds like the blood is flowing into your arms and hands and lowest point is is staying at not pumping back out due to compression.

ALso, have you had your thyroid checked? This an CT symptoms along with swollen ankle area were symptoms when I had my hypothyroid diagx. Oh, I had a lot of fatigue too.

Hope you can get ir resloved.
