Any Suggestion For Having Lump At IV Site?
Hello, After IV sedation 7 days ago I had a lump at the iv site that appeared after it was mostly healed. I pressed on the lump thinking I should massage it out, and now my hand in bruised again and it hurts a fair amount 6 hours later. Any ideas? thanks

Hi
Welcome to hcm
Do your coagulation profile (blood test). If it is deranged it may cause this. Don't rub it heavy. Give pressure over it. It's not serious and it will subside with time.
