i had surgery about a month and a half ago. i had a constant IV on for about 3 days, in my left hand. the pain that i had from the time they took the IV out the last time, til now, has lessened but not gone away. there isn't really a noticible color difference in my skin from my other hand, but it is a little swollen. more than anything, when i touch it, it feels like there is a small (about 2.5 cm) rod in there. i know it couldnt possibly be something foreign, so i'm assuming it's just a small section of the vein that's swollen, but it just feels strange because the ends of the "rod" are so defined to the touch. i've been meaning to go to the doctor and ask, but i honestly just don't have the time. anyone have any ideas?
