How Can Thrombophlebitis In The Right Ankle Be Treated?

1 month ago Dx of superficial thrombophlebitis of right ankle- warm compress & naproxen fixed it. Noted sore left wrist -i thought arthritis and used aspercream. Not much help. Mild sore throat past 2 wks and feeling of chest congestion, no cough, no mucus heard and no fever - vit C and mucinex expectorant seems better but chest still heavy feeling. No trouble breathing. Right shoulder pain like a knife seems to be more in the muscle area of the top of the arm. On and off for 2 weeks. Few days ago woke up with constriction of 1 finger on left hand, with manipulation of digit becomes slightly better. Still hurts and will constrict again almost to palm with immobility. Can feel pulling in hand like cord in palm. Now. 2 days ago upon rising in the morning i have sudden pain in both wrists, swollen and red knuckle on right hand, pain in left elbow, noted a somewhat painful small lump on back of left knee, tenderness and some swelling in right knee front. Took 2 Tylenol and 1 advil at 10am. Lessened the pain so I could manage the rest of my day. This evening took 1 aleve with some relief. Also noted sore spot building on my right foot as i walk, pain down right leg like from hip area, as I walk on it. Muscle weakness generally. No fatigue. No notable temp. 71 yo, female, generally healthy,, don’t smoke, don’t drink. Carcinoid cancer symptoms controlled with sandostatin. Otherwise take welchol for control of diarrhea, lomotol, 1/2 tab ambian for sleep, HBP med-well controlled. Dyclofenic. Vit c, fish oil, vit d. Does this seem urgent enough to go to Dr. Or will it subside??
