A member asked:

Feels like im sitting on a lrg lump in the vein/artery going down left thigh. very painful@ times! can blood clots move around & present in this way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood clot: If a lump is evident in or on a vein, a blood clot would be a possibility. It can fragment and travel through the vein upwards toward the lungs. Blood clot in a superficial vein tends not to travel or embolize. It would not move side to side. Since you're quite concerned, you should be examined by a physician to check for phlebitis.
