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?
It can be due to lymph node enlargement or infection. Doing an ultrasound neck can help in diagnosis Taking a cheat x-ray well rule out lung infection. If you have further issue I will be happy to help you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
