No, you’re talking exclusively about the increased capacity of the veins that comes with prolonged PE, but this is not a vein that is engorging but a lymph vessel. I know this because I have this happen often too. So it IS something he has to be careful about, not something to ignore, as otherwise it can block up and then you have to wait a long time before it opens up again. It’s also painful and quite a concern when it happens.
Thanks for trying to help but this is something that you must not have experianced or you would understand. Ask Dangleman about his experiances, as they helped me work out that I didn’t have a throbosed vein but a occluded lymphatic vessel. There just isn’t enough exposure of this occuring on the forums, but plenty of “thrombosed veins” threads, naturally this leads someone to make this assumption.
So hanover try heat treatment, and if it still comes up just do more sets per day rather than one big one that inflames this vessel.
