For figure skaters, do you also have this problem?

Question

since i started figure skating classes, bluish and whitish lines started to appear at my legs! i think those are varicose veins but im not yet sure!

for others, do you have this kind of problem too?

Answer 1

I've never had or heard of this type of problem before. Do your skates fit properly, and where are these bluish lines at on your legs? It's possible that you could have stretch marks. If this problem doesn't get any better I'd suggest seeing your doctor. Good luck!

Answer 2

Some people have problems just make sure that your skates fit properly and you will beable to avoid problems like that. Try getting your boots custom made if you can afford it

Answer 3

have it checked out just to be sure but its probably just that ur boot doesn't fit right

Answer 4

Heya, i've been figure skating for 5 years and i've never had this problem.. It could be unrelated and a coincidence that its happened after u started though perhaps theres a problem with ur boots? Are u comfortable in them when u skate? If its bothering u, maybe ask ur coach or try a quick check-up at the docs. Im sure its nothin but just to put ur mind at rest. Gd luck! :) x

Answer 5

Where exactly are those lines? if they are around your thighs and hips, then they're stretchmarks, and they appear if you gain/lose weight too fast. if they are lower, such as your calves, then they appear because of the effort you put your legs through.  I got both kinds of problems on my legs too. no matter how beautiful, figure skating can do things to you.

there are gels and treatments for both kind of lines, so chill.

good luck with your skating!
