Ultrasound: Aspirin won't hurt, but it won't dissolve a thrombus (clot) if that is what you have. You should see a doctor asap and get an ultrasound. If you do have a clot and it breaks free, it could travel to you lungs and cause serious problems (pulmonary embolus). It may not be a clot after all, but i wouldn't want to take any chances.

I am 21 wks preg & think I have a superficial blood clot behind my knee. I think it was caused by too-tight compression socks during prev preg (sig edema & socks top band was too tight). Can this turn into DVT? Treatment?
