Had Breast Augmentation Done. Felt Sharp Pain Below The Site Of Injection After Moving. Worrisome
Question: Hi I had breast augmentatiom last Monday April first today I moved wrong and got a burning sharp like pain In the vain they used to hook my IV up to its not numb and puffy and it almost feels like I pulled something is my vain that burns or some kind of sharp pain my vain is puffy about a inch and a half or two inches down from the iv injection site should I worry
Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your problem. This is common problem after IV lines and it is known as superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation and swelling of the vein). In this condition the vein becomes hard and cord like. There is pain over the site with movement of the hand and arm and it sometimes causes stinging or a burning sensation as well.
This condition usually resolves on its own within a few days/ week. You can use a local heparin ointment (thrombophob) to relieve the pain and to hasten the recovery.
Hope you get well soon.

So it's more then likely not a XXXXXXX why did it happen a week later should the numbness go away soon sorry to bother you again
Dear Ma'am,
It is usually brought to notice by the pain and the cord like vessel. This clot is present in the superficial vessels and has no risk of travelling anywhere and causing any other problem (unlike clots in the leg veins).
The pain would subside within a week.
Hope I have answered your query.

I had very little bruising at all and no numbness and burning like sharp pains till today it's not at the injection site but inches below it were it connects with another vain I think
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
Dear Ma'am,
The inflammation spreads slightly and that is why the pain is felt both above and below the site as well. Hope it gets well soon.
