Suggest Solution For Pain In Arm Due To Injection

Yes, thank you. About 6 weeks ago my mother had a neupogen injection following chemo for lung cancer. She had neupogen several times prior to this particular injection without any problems. The nurse used a very long needle on this particular visit (looked like about 2 ) and inserted it all the way in my mother s little tiny arm. My mom cried out in pain. The nurse realized the needle was way too long and removed it and said she would be right back with a different needle. She returned and completed the injection. Since that injection my mom has had a lot of pain inside her arm. There is no redness or any irritation on the surface of the skin. I m wondering if the nurse hit a nerve or bone or if we need further medical attention. The problem is not from the drug itself, but from the needle and it s been hurting since that moment. It is not from any other reason. My mom is not a baby about shots - no problem and no complaints from all her other shots or IV s, ever. If it has affected a nerve or bone, etc., will it go away in time, or is there a test we should request to get to the bottom of this? Thank You
