Is Painful Lump Normal After Iv Injection?
Today I had an endoscopy done, the nurse put an iv on the side of my right wrist....all went well but after an hour of her taking the iv out I formed a lump where it was. At first when I noticed it, it was throbing and hurt like a bruise, the pain has subsided but there is still a lump and tender to the touch....Is this common? Any clue as to what it can be?

4.Its just an oedema caused after removal of IV cannula.
