Vein pain.......ouch!
Hey all!
The last 2 times that I had my infusion and during my esophagus procedure the IV's were put in the top of my left hand. Yesterday when my nurse put the IV in it all went well........but this morning when I woke up the back of my hand is swollen and the vein is very hard and hurts! I called my nurse and she said to keep ice on it and if it's still bothering me on Monday I'm suppose to see my dr. So I've kept ice on my hand all day and it still aches and hurts. Does anyone who does infusions have any suggestions......do I have anything to worry about?? I hope it feels better tomorrow..............
