I had a picc line in for about 6 months mine though was for food as I couldnt swallow as the nerve shut down so they used the piccc for hydration and nutrition. Mine didnt hurt going in but once the lidocain went down I was screaming in pain they then tried morphine for the first time to find out I was allergic to it and ended up in the cardiac unit for 10 days. Do you get yours cleaned once a week as they did mine. One thing that did happen is they must have hit a nerve that goes to my left 2 fingers my thumb and pointer finger as they both have weird sensations since the picc. They were like there are no nerves there ya right there are nerves every where. Getting it out was really weird and painful though. I finally got a port which helps so much more.
