Confused Update..

Hi there thanks for your replys..

So on day 11 after the angio was done, a large lump apeared on my wrist where the catheter went in.. went back to doc and he put me on antibiotics redness around arm and as I say a large lump (*******) around and over like a firm boil..

Six days later not gone.. spread awelling around wrist, pain up following the veigns along inner arms.. I say arms plural cause the other is echoing the same pain, fingers cramping and sharp jabs in my palms. Right wrist is very sore and dosnt bend all the way back or sideways by the thumb.

Doc says dont use it and spent alot of time checking for pulses and such.. my fingernail color is good and hand does not get cold..

He sent me for a dopplar ultrasound on the lump area.. but hospital refused cause they didnt have a specialist to do the ultrasound because of it being an angio complication they need a heart doc to do it aparently... they will phone me with apt time.

I will look into the Q thing Hope and get the ECG results soon. I asked my doc about varient angina and he implyed they checked, but I have requested a normal ECG and an abnormal ECG of mine done in hospital to compare them myself.

Things seem to keep going wrong.. like a downward spiral, I have to stay optomistic.

My chest pain is exaberated by use of my cane, the more I lean/rely on it the more my chest hurts.. I was using 2 before my hospital stay but now I cant with my rt arm screwed up..

My doc thinks I should look at motorised chairs, i can'r believe my life has come to this.. I am not yeat 45 and was so fit..
*enouph self pity sandra says to herself*

Chest pain has eased some though still there.. just another RSD thing methinks.

Hope things are going well for you all.
super soft hugs,
sandra
