Pain in hand after cannula

Hi all,

I will be 3 weeks PO this Friday and I still have so much tenderness and bruising in my hand where the cannula was inserted into my vein. Is this normal? Did anyone else experience this post op?

I’m nearly 8 weeks po and mine was the same. The soreness goes eventually but can take time. I still have a small lump at the site I can push around a bit. I saw Mr Netri on Friday and he said it was normal, it can take a long time to go away, so long as there is no pain, don’t worry about it. It will eventually disappear x

Thank you @tracyh70 that is really handy to know, I was starting to think something was seriously wrong. Panic over! x
