Unlikely: Any clot large enough for you to feel is unlikely to be easily dislodged. If it did, it would travel through your veins back to your lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. A 1.5 cm embolus would definitely cause some major symptoms. Likely this was a cyst or muscle spasm which resolved.

Not a clot: Very unusual to feel a clot . If any pain or swelling check with your primary care or orthopedics surgeon for masses.
