Is my arm infected or just swollen from the trauma? HELP!?!
Question: Is my arm infected or just swollen from the trauma!? HELP!!?
Lost my baby and had surgery - Normal or Not!?
I had emergency surgery on Wednesday afternoon (D&E at 22 weeks cause baby died and did not come out)!. At one time I had three IVs in my left arm - but they only used 1!. I was also poked with a needle to take blood samples numerous times!. My right arm got it too but not as bad as my left arm!. When I was released from the hospital on Thursday I felt beat up of course (kind of like being in a car accident is how I put it)!. My left arm has deep bruising and I am in pain because of it!. I have one area on my left arm that is swollen, red and sorta hot to the touch!. Is this normal from all the trauma to the arm!? When I touch this red area it hurts!
Normal given the circumstances!?
Thanks!
PS - I don't feel any pain to the area they operated on (my uterus)!.!.!.!.!.just on the place they poked me so many times!.
