Subject: 4-week post op hysterectomy question
> I am at the 4-week post op from a TAH. I've had no problems thus
> far.....except for a bump on my arm that seems to be underneath the
> skin. It's not raised and I can't see it. I can only feel it when I
> rub that area with my finger. The bump is at the site where the IV was
> in my arm in the hospital. The nurse told me that the site had became
> infiltrated and then she removed the IV. It didn't hurt at the time and
> I forgot about it. Now I've notice that the area has a small bump
> underneath the skin that's not raised and it doesn't hurt unles I push
> on it very hard. Is this anything that I should bring to a dr's
> attention? Will this little bump go away or does it need treatment of
