well your fistula stopped working does this mean that you hand not yet started dialysis or it stopped working when you were dialysis patient already. If you were a dialysis patient already you will need to go to the hospital and they [Doctors will fit a temporary line] either neck or grown whilst they fix the fistula. It could take 4 to 6 weeks before it starts working again. The arm will be very painful swelling at most times. Its very uncomfortable l have to be honest to you.

Good luck and all the best
