I am pregnant. i have a varicose vein behind my knee. it is now hard, red and sore?

Phlebitis: Phlebitis or blood clot in that vein is of concern although it may be superficial which is less serious than deep vein phlebitis. See a physician or vascular surgeon for evaluation which may include an ultrasound. In the meantime elevate your leg and apply warm compresses.
