Clara a sore lump that is tender to touch is superficial thrombophlebitis, it is quite safe and won’t break up to form pulmonary emboli because the inflammation glues it to the inside of the vein.
The dangerous type is the silent deep vein (not superficial) thrombosis which may produce no symptoms or just an ache in the lower leg with a little ankle oedema. DocDavid -

Claire,
I didn’t have a problem quite like yours, but I did notice my left calf was larger than my right (I am right handed), so my doctor had a venus dopler done on my left leg and all was okay. I sure hope this is the case for you. Be sure and keep us updated.
