[Love61]

Hope everyone are doing well . I have been on dailaylis since January .my fistula started to hurt me so I can't use my hand to carry anything . On dailaylis today the nurse say I have a very good blood flow. Does anyone have this expreance .?

Next time you see your nephrologist, mention it to them. If your fistula has a very high blood flow, it may be taking some of the blood flow away from your hand which is causing your pain. It is known as "steal syndrome". Your nephrologist will be able to offer some help and support to alleviate your symptoms. All the best, Sunny

How old have you had your fistula and how big is the fistula? And finally what were you carrying?
