Could This Painful Wrist Lump Be Due To Blood Clotting?

I have a lump in my right wrist which seems to be on a vein. It s a stabbing pain when I touch it. i am on warfarin and recently went off it to have a hernia repaired. After that I developed pnuemonia and tore the incision internally due to much coughing. A large clot fromed in my abdomen. Again I was off warfarin for a week while in the hospital where I received blood. Could this be a blood clot on my wrist?

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Dear friend, you are right! As per your medical/surgical history of recent past, there is high possibility that some thrombosed vein/organised clot or an organised hematoma is only the offending component here, causing the lump on your wrist!

This lump needs cold compress, light massage and heparin gel you must know....

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
