phlebitis
Phlebitis is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of a vein, typically in the legs. It can result from prolonged inactivity, an injury to the vein, or a complication of a medical or surgical procedure. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, redness or warmth around the affected vein. In serious cases, it can cause a blood clot to form, which can be potentially life-threatening if it travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.
