Have thick veins all around my fistula, and thick vein on the back of my hand, was advised by a renal doctor not to worry about them, that it was an aneurysm of the fistula, use to be on dialysis, received a kidney transplant nearly a year ago. Am getting a lot of cramps in my hand, where the fistula is located.

Since you have started the Xmas holidays, very difficult to get a surgeon to have a look at it, will have to wait till the first week of new year 2012.

Any suggestions for those cramps in my hand?
