Worried about blood clot in arm

Around 10 weeks ago I had a nurse attempt to put a canula in my hand, but she couldn’t do it and it caused me so much pain, she kept trying to force it in but my vein was too small and I ended up with a golf ball of a lump on my hand.
since then I’ve had pain in the area on and off, and then on Wednesday I was in Paris but I was sat doing nothing and my wrist randomly was really hurting, I then started to bruise around the ball on my wrist, it was so sore to touch. The last day or two my wrist is not hurting but I have on and off pain in my arm further up. I really don’t want to seem dramatic but could it possibly be a blood clot from the trauma of the Canula trying to be put in my vein?

The golf ball lump is when the vein pops which happens often. Same happened to me when I was in labour. It's a little sore for a few days but returns back to normal, definitely not a blood clot, so try not to worry.
