Question:
What is it like getting an IV inserted into the back of you hand or arm?
I am going in for surgery soon and I am curious what it is like getting an IV inserted. I have never had any problems getting shots, but having the needle stay inside your arm or hand kinda grosses me out.
Answers:
it's a slight pain when it's inserted into the hand or arm. But you get quite used to it very quickly and it doesn't hurt afterwards. I have had them in my hand for over a week without any pain. Don't let it Worry you.
