Superficial clot: A hard knot in a vein is very suggestive of superficial phlebitis which is a clot in a superficial vein. The initial treatment is heat and ibuprofen. However, sometimes this clot can be more extensive. It would be prudent for you to be seen by a vascular surgeon or phlebologist and have a venous ultrasound, .
