Big Bruise On Arm With Knot In Vein With Red Line. History Of Painful Medication And Saline Insertion Through IV. Possible Blood Clot?

i had a iv two weeks ago, when it was first put in and she tried to get none came out, then she move it around and got a small amount, and then the blood sucked back in, they push meds in to the iv and salin it hurt so bad they said it was the meds.Each time the salin went in it hurt so bad. The next day I had a great big bruse, now two week later I have a knot in that vain with a red line, my arm hurt really bad and my fingers a numb. Can this be a clot?

Hi, many thanks for the query!
Yes, most likely its a blood clot, due to veinflow/intracath getting out.
Nothing much to worry,
you can apply Thrombophobe ointment there / MgSO4 dressing with your doctor's opinion.
It will resolve gradually.
Take anti-inflammatory drugs, chymoral forte (enzymes), pain killers with your doctor's opinion & after getting physically examined by him.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
