What has to be hit with PN to cause PAIN?
 

Had surgery the other day - 6 stabs first in arms to start IV - no feeling so no pain - but couldnt start IV's either.... hands twice... no pain, no start either ... feet - first stab they kept pushing and pushing - extreme pain shot all the way up leg and I think they heard me yell in the parking lot, they pulled it out real fast and finally got another vein in foot - no pain or feeling again.....

I dont have any feeling on skin from PN - what would they have had to hit to cause a reaction like that on the foot??? Just curious????:confused:

Oh, wow... that is just awful..

I am a hard "stick" too.

Pain like that? A tendon maybe, or a nerve. The nerves deeper will still be alive..the motor ones, etc.

I am so sorry you have to go thru all that! :hug:

Hi. First hello and I am sorry you had this happen. Now I may be clueless but I have a friend who has PN and she has a port. I am not sure if that is just used for putting in her infusions and when she has operations with the iv or if it is used for taking blood too. I thought she had told me that. Well sending many thoughts and if you want an email buddy I am here again.
