A member asked:
Does simultaneous swelling minus pain and redness in cephalic veins in both hands mean something scary like a blood clot??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It rarely means a blood clot. Swelling in both hands is usually something generalized, not just in the arms. It can occur in a variety of conditions.
