What Is The Treatment For Soreness And Pain In The Arms?
Hi there, I was on iv in the hospital recently with two antibiotics for a week. The last two days on the iv were extremely painful and now my vein is rock hard and popping out to the length of about 4 . It s sore and at times my whole arm begins to ache severely - enough to wake me up. Should I be concerned?
