Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It seems to be thrombophlebitis. You need to do the following
1. elevation with elastocrepe bandage of the affected extremity.
2. antibiotics if you are febrile
3. pain killers
3.thrombophobe ointment for local application
4. iced compresses locally.
If it does'nt settle with this treatment then a surgical consult is mandatory.
I hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
