My left arm is heavily bruised and all my veins are bright red

Published

I have a questions, I had a PICC line tried to be inserted into my left arm and after an hour they finally decided to go with my right arm. The PICC line stayed in my right arm for a week and it has since been removed and feels and looks great. Just a little poke there. My left arm is heavily bruised and all my veins are bright red and my arm is severly swollen and hurts to move. It has been 5 days and ice and motrin are not helping any suggestions???sad.png

I would make arrangements to visit with your primary care physician if the issues with your left arm continue to persist. Unfortunately, the members on these forums are not permitted to exchange any medical advice, so your best bet is to see your doctor.

Good luck to you, and I hope that your arm improves!
