Some blood clots can go away but if you suspect a blood clot in an extremity I would suggest contacting your physician or going to the emergency room. A blood clot can cause swelling redness tenderness pain. Do not rub as this could break the clot loose to travel to the lung. Do not do anything to constrict circulation such as crossing your legs or tight clothing.
