Lump On The Wrist Vein Where IV Inserted And Is Numb
Hello, I was submitted to surgery 9 days ago and had an IV in my right wrist. Today I noticed a lump on my wrist´s vein 2 cm bellow the entry point. When I pressed it, it disappeared for 10 mins and then reappeared. The area is also a bit numb, should I worry ?
