Hi guys,
Really after some reassurance. I had an operation a couple of weeks ago and a few days after i noticed a red patch over the IV cannula site in my hand, and a pain following the vein in my forearm to touch. It doesnt really hurt until i touch it.
But now 2 weeks later the pain is still there and there is a small lump on the vein in my forearm no redness though. Looking on the net it seems it is a blood clot.
I am now paranoid though that it is going to break off and go to my lung or heart.... even though from reading it seems it is a superficial vein and is quite common after and sick meds with a canula (which I had).
Has anyone had this or heard of it..... Please help if you can.
