Hi, I have observed that there is a line, from just between my breasts, under my rib-cage which is painful. When I feel it, it feels hard and I can feel knots at intervals of about 2 cms. I can feel this going down upto my abdominal area. It hurts when I press is, but if not, does not cause me any discomfort. Can you give an exlanantion please?
HI. Thanks for your query and exact history. This is called Idiopathic Phlebo-thrombosis when there is only swelling or also called as thombo-phlebitis ID there are signs of inflammation and infection. The cause of such condition is not known as is usually self-limiting. The mainstay of the treatment is had proper HY Chat Doctor.  If required your Doctor may give you a mild analgesic and an antibiotic to ward off the complications. Never fiddle / massage this area. This will heal on its own.
