Symptom #9: String-Like Structures Beneath Skin
Hold the top of your hand in front of you and you can probably see some of your blood vessels just beneath the surface. Press down on these vessels and you should be able to feel them, but they will be soft and easily give way to the pressure of your fingers.
In cases of phlebitis, however, the inflamed vessels are going to be a lot tougher than they usually are. You will be able to feel this directly with your fingers and the vessels will feel as though they are made from string or even cables. It is something that you should get checked out if you have not done so already.
