This is almost certainly a small blood clot, called a thrombus, that formed in your vein due to the IV. Treatment consists of ibuprofen and a hot cloth or heating pad three or so times a day. It can take weeks to go away. If this is the diagnosis in your case, it's a harmless, but annoying, problem that should resolve with time. They are actually fairly common. I'm glad it does not hurt. However, since it's not possible to examine this area over the Internet (when *that* happens I'll have to find another job!), I would suggest a visit to your doctor just to make sure. -- Ashley Hill David Ashley Hill, M.D. Associate Director Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Florida Hospital Family Practice Residency Orlando, FL http://home.mpinet.net/dahmd The above is intended for general medical education, and is not for specific medical advice.
