What Causes A Painful Lump On The Wrist After Chemotherapy?

It looks like I have the same problem as others do. After my 5th chemo treatment, my wrist became sore. After my 6th I developed a painful lump in the top of my wrist. It has been there for about a month now. Do you think that the thrombophleb ointement might work for me? Where do you buy it?
Thank you

Hello dear

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* This seems extensive thrombophlebitis with possibility of underlying
infection considering the amount of pain present .

* Strongly recommended to consult your surgeon rather than using
ointments on your own and helping the pathology to spread .

* Ice application 4 - 5 times a day can help for temporary period .

Welcome for any further doubts .

Regards dear .
