Hi i have been having issues with sore and stiff veins in arm after 3rd ec, but since only having 4 treatmenst it was decided to continue with cannula in hand. Now 2 days after 4th and the vein has become noticeably red up my arm. Has anyone else experienced this?
Mine not red but lumpy and corded with thrombi phlebitis. After no 3 so extra saline bag to flush vein out each time now on n6 this week cording still there but less pain
