Mondor's cords

Mondor's cords basically represent a superficial thrombophlebitis. You should be able to see them and feel them if you have this.

Non palapablee Monddor's cord

Generally speaking a Mondor's cord is palpable and visible. What you may be experiencing is some form of dysesthesisas or nerve entrapment.
