What Does A Hard Lump On The Left Palm Indicate?
56 year old female. Just had shoulder surgery three days ago. Noticed what appears to be a hard knot in a vein/vessel in my left palm. Same side as my surgery. Any idea what this could be? Should I be on the way to the hospital in case it s a clot that could move and cause stroke?

Hello
Yes should go immediately to hospital or ER. That is a blocked vein possible from surgery complication. Should check out by surgeon. Doppler ultrasound might be needed to evaluate the status of the blood vessels in the arm.
