There are lots of “various veins” out there but it’s hard to pin them down as eggcorns. Some are though: googling “a various vein” reveals:
“Scare tactics warnings shouldn’t work on us, of course we are not going to do cupping on a various vein or broken skin because we gained knowledge”
“I am in agony and my doc said it is to do with a various vein”
And in the same…........ vein (sorry):
“Primary doc said its normal and i may be getting vicarious vein”
“Use when you have vicarious veins and oedema”
“I have a DVT in my left leg and my calf is still a bit bigger than the other and have a lot of vicarious vein”
The usual grovelling apologies if this has been done before.
