Need Medication For A Blood Clot On Jugular Vein
I think my friend has a blood clot on his jugular vein. He is an iv drug user and this is the area where he injects himself. the vein itself feels hard and the lump on it is the size of a melon ball Id say. I am worried and think he should go to the dr. Please tell me what is going on here.

HI
Well come to HCM
This is may not be blood clot but this could be local swelling because of frequent pricking of needle the only option is there to stop this else consulting any doctor wont helm him, unless you consult to psychiatrist for de-addiction, hope this helps.
