Suggest Remedies For Pain After IV Placement
I was recently in the hospital due to a stone blocking my bile duct. It seems the older I get the harder it is to find my veins. They had to put the IV in the vein on top of my hand. After a day it was hurting quite badly and they had to switch it out. That was June 15th and the vein is hurting like crazy still. The pain goes into my wrist. How normal is this?

Hello,
Sometimes the pain persists for a few weeks. However, slowly it goes away and there is no long term disability. Nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
