Had my PICC line inserted on Thursday and had 1st treatment on Friday. Saturday the clip had opened & had to have the line flushed. No problems following this. However tonight in bed (Sun) I started with really bad pain in my neck. There is no swelling or redness. I really don't want to ring the 24 emergency line but was wondering if I should wait until the local hospital advice line is open and see if u need to go to the oncology unit to get it checked. I have taken paracetamol and sat upright in bed doesnt seem quite as severe as it was. Any advice? Is this normal when recently inserted and after 1st treatment. Thank you
