I have had two dvt s in the past and have a bruise on my elbow with a white lump in it. I noticed the bruise about a week ago but only noticed the lump in the last couple of days. I don t remember hitting my elbow on anything and my last inr was 2.9 on 9/25/14. Is this something I should be concerned about?
