Hello there,
i suffer from this almost now every week......I have a vascular medical condition called klippel treanunay syndrome and it is painful.Yes superficial clots.Mine are in my leg..........Hardening of the vein ...Swelling...Redness.Hot? I take asprin and take ibubrofen....I just found out yesterday that infact I have reacouring phlebitus and its very painful!!!! I cant really help much but to tell you talk to your dr if it doesnt go away maybe get an ultra sound? To check it out?

I have them when I thought I was having a dvt but it always turned out it wasnt.These kinda clots are painful in my leg I am sure in your arm too

hang in there!

Hi,
I don't know if u have the same thing as me or not. I have post phlebetic syndrome, it boils down to Chronic Phlebitus. It is very painful. I stepped on a big piece of glass almost five years ago ended up with boood clots and was put on blood thinners. The blood clots went away but the pain and bumpy veins did not. The Dr that I had then said it would go away in about 2 months. 6 months later I still had it and my family physician tried one more scepialist. I now have a hemotoligist. He diagnosed me with PPD There is no cure yet. It depends on the person and the situation but there is hope . He sends my files to Universities every year of so and they are advancing in medicine. It is very frustrating at times but try to hang in there.
