What Causes Pain In Wrist Radiating Towards Elbow After Having Angiogram?

Hi. I had an angiogram ( via the right wrist ) approx 4 weeks ago but for the last two weeks I have been having pain in the right arm - from the wrist through to the inside of the elbow. Could the pain be a delayed issue from the angiogram or is this just a coincidence ?
