What To Do If Having Lumps On The Leg And Scan Shows Clot In The Artery?

I had an obvious lump in my upper leg which was painful. I had a scan which showed a blood clot which was NOT in my main artery. Since the scan I have developed an even larger lump higher in the leg and also a lump below my knee line on the left side which are also quite painful. I don t feel unwell though
