What Causes Tenderness In Wrist With Red Patch And Lump After An IV?
I had an IV put in my left inner wrist to give me siezure meds in the ER. After a few days my wrist ached as well as my arm up to my shoulder, I could not bend my wrist forward or backwards. My wrist ached so bad like I had arthritist. I put heat and ice on it and took napraxon. It helped a little, I also have red patches and a lump on my wrist it is very tender to the touch.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having thrombophlebitis developing after iv prick.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Apply Thrombophob cream on affected parts.
Apply ice pack for few days.
Ok and take care.
