What Causes Pain In Neck After Getting PIC Line Inserted?
I had a picc line inserted a week ago. Today I developed neck pain on the front left side of my neck (the side where the picc line was inserted). It is a dull pain (probably a 3-4 on a scale of 1-10). There is no discoloration and no swelling, but I ve heard neck pain can be a sine of a clot. I have no other pain in the arm or chest. Should I be worried?
