Suggest Treatment For Deep Vein Thrombosis In Arm
Question: Hi, I have a crease, line indentation, along length of my inside upper right arm- very noticible when I raise my arm. Its like the symptom of axillary web syndrome when women have had lymph nodes removed. I can't feel a lump anywhere but the vein/vessel under my arm is raised and hard... like string. 3 weeks ago I had a paronychia on finger of same side... it took a while to go, no antibiotics. Are these two things linked? Should I be concerned?
I forgot to add that this vein/ intent has been there 2 weeks... it is not painful.

Thank you,....I had Endogenous laser ablation on a leg 7 weeks ago, is that linked? Is it ok to wait a couple of days for a Dr appointment as unless an emergency it is hard to be seen? Many thanks
Brief Answer:
Earlier the better
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
Endo laser treatment might not have anything to with the present problem as this procedure has local implications alone and has no effects on the other parts of the body.
Earlier the better. Better be seen by a Doctor so that some treatment is started.
Avoid dehydration.
Ultrasonography with color doppler examination may be needed.
