Can you physically feel a blood clot in your lower leg?

It depends on depth: The leg will swell, become red, and have a tender cord-like area in many cases, especially if superficial. Deep venous thrombosis may cause pain and swelling or be asymptomatic. If you are concerned, see your doctor soon. <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/deep-vein-thrombosis/basics/definition/con-20031922" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-co

Possibly indirectly: No single physical finding or combination of symptoms and signs is sufficiently accurate to establish the diagnosis of DVT, but physical findings in DVT may include: calf pain, a palpable and tender cord (subcutaneous venous segment), and/or discoloration of the leg. If you are concerned, you should see a physician. Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001209/

Usually not: The blood clots that are dangerous are in the deep veins and you can not usually feel them. Occasionally we can feel one if it is very large behind the knee. The best indicator of a clot is one very swollen leg below the knee. If we see this we will send the patient for an ultrasound and doppler to rule out a blood clot.

Blood clot lower leg: Symptoms may include swelling in the leg or ankle and cramping pain. DVT are harder to detect and pose significant risk of embolus to the lung

Yes: You can. It will present a s a tender object on a portion of your leg.It is called a external vein thrombosis. The ones on the inside of your leg will cause the leg to swell and there is a chance that it will go to your lungs. That must be taken care of by your doctor
