Did you ever had a clot in the superficial veins? Can you inform where exactly the raised line is? Im just wondering if you have superficial vein thrombosis. The symptoms of itchiness along the vein and and the fact that you can feel the and see the vein to me are typical symptoms of superficial vein thrombosis, also called Superficial phlebitis

The superficial vein thrombosin is of much less concern than the deep vein thrombosis. I recommend that you talk to a doctor about this. He or she may recommend anticoagulation therapy. If the symptoms are unbearable or the vein looks bad cosmetically, then it can be removed or ablated (closed, e.g with radiofrequency). The thing is that as the superficial veins only transport 10% of the blood up the leg, while the deep veins transport around 90%, removing or closing these poses little harm. However, considering that you had DVT previously, then you need to discuss carefully treatment options with the doctor.

These symptoms do not fit with post thrombotic syndrome. The reason is that because the vein are located deep in the muscles, that if these are bulging due to poor blood retention, and causing fluid accumulation, this should cause general swelling and ithcing over a larger area rather than in a single location

Good luck and keep us updated...

I'd recommend visiting your doctor since this has persisted for a few weeks. I'm not even gonna try to guess (and that's truly what it would be) at a diagnosis. I've had some itching and other quirky symptoms at times, but never that red line you describe. Hope it turns out to be nothing, but always good to verify it's nothing.

Yep,I agree. Just check in with your doc.

Thanks everyone. I called my dr office the day I posted this original discussion and I go on Monday afternoon to have it looked at.

went to my dr appt yesterday. She was kind of befuddled and not totally sure what to make of it. She is sending me next week for an ultrasound of my leg to see if it shows anything. Hopefully it doesn't but would like answers....

Went for the ultrasound yesterday. Really got no answers. The tech just kept asking me/ telling me to see my dr. Needless to say now I am more stressed out than before.....

I've always been told that the techs aren't allowed to tell you anything.
That's probably why she told you that.
Hopefully you can get the results from your dr quickly so you will know what's going on.
Keep us posted. :-)

My dr called me this morning. I have multiple new clots in my left leg. She is referring me to a hematologist. We can't figure it out, my numbers have been in range the entire time. Needless to say I am worried to death.. She has suggested cutting my hours down at work since I am on my feet 8-10 hours day. For few weeks then gradually getting me back up to my norm of 45 a week.

Have you been evaluated for May-Thurner Syndrome? That can cause clotting even when you're on anticoagulants. Because its an anatomical problem, though, the clotting only happens in the left leg. It's pretty rare, but you might want to mention it to the hema when you see him/her.

It is odd that you're clotting even though you're active and on your feet a lot. I don't remember if you've been tested for the regular clotting disorders or not, but that'd be more questions to ask the hema. (Note that not all of the testing can be done with warfarin in your system.)

Geez... I really feel for you. Crazy that you've got this diagnosis despite having the right treatment. I hope you get some answers soon.

Sorry to hear that it is clots again. Glad you are seeing a hematologist, hopefully soon so you don't have to go through the anxiety of waiting. Thinking of you!

I'm sorry they found more clots but so glad you decided to see your doctor.

They'll get it sorted out. Hang in there!

I go on June 8 to my dr to go over ultrasound results then to the hematologist on june 9. what I am semi freaking out about is the hematologist is at dana farber cancer center.I was told they will do panels of blood work which is fine. part that scares me is what else will they find... cancer does run in my family....

feeling so scared I can't sleep...

Read this thread, it should ease your mind about the hematologist / cancer center link. http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Deep_Vein_Thrombosis_DVT/forum/16084218-hematologist-question
Hope you can keep your mind busy until you get to your appointments. Maybe read a new book?
Still thinking of you..

At this point I do not know if the new clots are from the first one that may have broken up or if they are new ones. I see my dr on June 8 and the hema dr on june 9. My fingers and toes are crossed that I get answers. I am glad that I went with my gut feeling and called my dr. even tho this is scary as ever.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and show of concern. I go to the hema on june 9. got email from dr stating findings of ultrasound. looking online to see if I can turn medical lingo to English. lol
