Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Wrist
I had an IV in my arm from June 19-24 and went to the MD on July 1st because top of my wrist has a swollen bump area and it hurt. She said it is not a blood clot. However it is worse today so I called to see if i can get an ultrasound. The nurse have not called back since 10am should I go to the ER to rule out a blood clot. Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Yes you need to go to emergency room to rule out blood clot. Because it is worsening and increasing in size.
After diagnosing it may be aspirated if needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
