[|Human|] I had Blood clot on left leg several years ago. I had treatment. Last week I felt lump on calf on same leg. There was a little pain and tenderness and I have been elevating my leg. The swelling has gone down but lump is still noticeable. What does this mean?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of blood clot on left leg several years ago - that is a long ago. This may not be related to the lump you have now as the lump has reduced in size. Since there is a little pain and tenderness, this is most probable inflammatory like a boil or so. Hence, take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines and consult a Surgeon to get this clinically evaluated to get a proper diagnosis. Color Doppler helps a lo to get a proper diagnosis as are the blood tests.
