Bulging vein/artery in thigh after strength training, normal?
The long vein/artery in my left inside thigh bulges out a bit, particularly when I stand. There's also a pimple-sized bump near the end also. I have decently tone legs, and only seem to notice it after doing strength training. I have no idea if it's always been there and I just didn't notice (been strength training for awhile), but it's freaking me out a bit. Here's an artist's rendering:
It's only on my left leg, and the flesh around the vein appears more muscular/hard than on my right leg. There's no pain or anything. I do plan on seeing a doctor, but I don't want to waste his time, so any words would help a lot.

You're going to die! 
Seriously, though, I don't think it's anything to worry about. After I work out, I sometimes notice a bulging vein on the side of my forehead. Strenuous exercise increases blood flow which can make veins bigger. Even Madonna suffers from this as this article illustrates.

If I am not mistaken, the pimple size bump is probably a valve inside the vein to prevent any backflow.

I'm incredibly paranoid. I saw it the day after a workout. I talked to my brother (much more muscular upper-body wise) and when he flexed his arms, the veins look liked my leg, though the vein in the latter is wider. When I stand, my leg muscles seem to tighten up and causes it to bulge, once I sit and relax it's hardly noticeable. I'm just scared I blew something or other, although as I mentioned there is no real pain.

I think it's normal, but I'm no doctor!
When I used to weight lift I would notice an increase in the size and prominence of my veins particularly in my arms.
Sweet drawing by the way..

As your muscles tone and bulk up, the superficial veins must go somewhere.

Veins will enlarge with strength training to increase blood flow. However, they should not rise up too much or discolor or create large lumps. It "might" be an indication of a potentially greater problem. When in doubt, have a doctor check it out.

They don't seem discolored, and they only bulge when I stand or tense my leg. (I seem to have very little extraneous fat near my knees) It's only noticeable because the vein is located on the "outline" of my body when viewed from the top/front. But yeah, I do want to go see a doc. I may wait until my leg recovers from the workout first, really depends how paranoid I get.
