What Causes Swelling Between The Neck And Clavicle While Suffering From DVT?

I have an appt for an MRA/MRV chest in 2 days - Hx DVTs and had enlarged veins when prescription for test written, on 5/6/16. Question is I currently have swelling between neck and clavicle, on left side, and I can see vein sort of bulging out. Any problem if I wait or are these signs of worsening?
