Jesus....are you actually still alive lol that's alot of brew!!

[FlirtfromHell]

Should I actually still have pain in my hand where the IV was? It's so sore still and I don't ever remember it being like that before when I've had iv's??

[paramuscle]

Typically, the IV access is not deep enough to due any nerve damage. The big problem for most people is when it is removed and the bleeding is controlled with direct pressure, sometimes they let a little out into the extravascular space and it causes a bruise which can be very painful for several days. Now, it is not unheard of for something to go wrong with this especially if you are a real hard stick. If it keep bothering you, get it checked out.

It's in the top of my hand, and there is absolutely no bruise, only a small scab where the hole was. But (I'm gonna sound dumb now) ya know how they insert the tube or something into your hand? That's kinda where is hurts, where the tube ended, about an inch below the opening. I will ask the doc on Monday, but I can't believe how badly it hurts too.

Thanks too

[paramuscle]

The tube is the catheter and the usual length varies but typically, we use a 1 1/2 inch length. It doesn't sound stupid, you aren't supposed to know everything. It is possible that they did hit something, that's why I said sometimes it happens. Sorry hun.........next time, tell them you want me to do it and I will take care of it for ya..........
