Sore near IV location still?

BlueEyedWonder... Just curious... has your lump gone away yet? I have the same exact thing right at my wrist below the IV spot. I remember seeing your post a month or so ago, and found it again when I was searching about the hard lump I have in my vein. It's pretty painful when you touch it! And I can see it sticking up too. So just curious how long it'll take to go away. Thanks!

Foxpup, I had a very sore spot and a lump on my wrist. Entire area was very sore but it went away after a couple of weeks. I think others have said normally 2-3 weeks. Glad to know it was normal. I wasnt prepared for it though!

Foxpup last week it was still sore, after reading this post I went to check it, and it's weird, I can tell you exactly where it hurts, but it doesn't hurt. Maybe it's memory of the pain or whatnot.

Actually I take that all back, closer to the wrist bone I can feel the vein and it is tender. Almost a hardening of the vein as I could feel it roll around as I moved it.

Course it took a bit of poking to actually feel the tender spot compared to the "Ouch" as soon as I touched it. So if it's basically gone by this point, I figure in a few more weeks it'll just be a memory.

I had a popped up vein on my hand several inches below the actual IV site that stayed there for almost 3 months. One day I just noticed that it had gone down considerably and now it's normal.

Thanks... good to know it'll probably take awhile to go away. Anyone know what it actually is?

Mine was so sore for weeks and the bump the size of a marble even moved up my forearm a bit. Creepy. Doc. said it's okay for mine anyway.
