You mean, the symptoms? The classic symptoms are pain and swelling in ONE leg, it may also change color. The symptoms once it breaks off and goes to your lungs is sudden chest pain and difficulty breathing, it's usually very dramatic.

Do you mean what you can see from the outside?

I've only had superficial ones (SVT - superficial vein thrombophlebitis). At first the area is red and hot. Gradually I could see a red line forming under the skin (this was the vein, since mine were superficial). Very painful to touch/pressure of any kind.

My mother has had multiple DVT (deep vein thrombosis). Her entire leg swelled and got red & hot.

I'll see if I can find some representative pics...

The one in my leg was the worst charlie horse EVER. If you suspect a blood clot, do NOT sit here on the computer. Get to the ER NOW NOW NOW. A blood clot can kill you in minutes if it releases smaller clots into your heart and/or lungs. Go to the hospital. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Is because as walking a noticed a little pain in my leg so stopped to take a look and I saw a vein green one little swollen and hurting but I did see anything else... Wondering if I have to go to my doctor's office...

if you have to question it I would go just to have it checked out. Dont wait becuase if it is a clot you will be in much more trouble.

Green swollen vein sounds like a varicose vein. :) They can pop up quickly, and be quite painful. I had two popup within a few days when I was pregnant.

Here's what my mom's leg looked like with her DVT. (NOT her actual leg, it's a borrowed pic):

Here's an idea what my SVT looks like. Again, not me nor my pic. See the circled area on the arm, how you can see a red streak? That's exactly what I had with all my SVT (I was getting them from a BCP).

Hoping that it's nothing. Let us know what your doctor says.
