Is A Bump On The Knee At The Site Of An Injury A Concern?

I was getting out of tub and bent knee and felt sudden burning pain. There is now what looks like a bulging knotty vein there. I can move my knee normally. Burning sensation resolved within a couple of minutes and now only somewhat tender when I touch it. I don t have any varicose veins. What is this??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The description you have given suggests the following. Superficial thrombophlebitis , which is a blood clot that forms in a vein just below the skin. Symptoms include skin redness; a firm, tender, warm vein; and sometimes pain and swelling. You need to meet your physician and get tested with venous doppler. Many times the early presentations of varicose vein will not dilated veins. Pain, heaviness in the the lower limbs on standing for long time and swelling by the end of the day of work (shoes getting tighter as the day progresses). There are local treatment for the problem you are facing like local application of thrombophob gel twice daily will help your symptoms with initial mild pain killer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
