I have some tiny veins on the inside of my right knee. I have been on my feet all day and this evening it seemed alittle red and puffy and it also started aching. I did lay down and propped my leg up higher than my heart. I also took 2 aleve. The inside of my knees have always seemed larger than most. I guess my concern is a blot clot? Iam 55 and my weight is up right now. Thank you for your time, Patty
Hi, In my opinion it actually may be a blood clot but don't usually worry the dangerous kind of clot is a bit large and deep not superficial on the anterior surface it commonly diagnosed in the back of legs. Hot foments, massaging with topical gels twice a day, wearing stretches, avoid standing for a long time and bending your knees for a long time, elevating your leg and 2 aspirins after breakfast will be effective for your blood viscosity and your pain. If it persists I suggest Doppler U/s on right lower limb veins for proper management and avoiding the risk of clotting and DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which is very risky and have many dangerous complications.
