Re infusion in the vein

[Rocky1]

Can anyone tell me, when you have an infusion into your vein do you always feel the sensation of the fluid in your vein? I've recently had one but didn't feel anything so worried it may not have worked properly. Maybe I'm just over worrying.

Hi Rocky I had an infusion done a few months ago and I did not feel a thing also, But my consultant did not use the correct dose so I really was not supprised I did not get any relief or help from it maybe your consultant is not using these drugs to the correct protacole that started in the US and is being used sparingly over hear maybe when they are abit more convident they will start using the right dose, hears hoping

Hello BOB here

Sometimes the infusion and needle site will feel either hot or sometimes you may feel a constant, sharps pain in and around the effected site. This can sometimes be caused if the needle is next to the folds of skin or if the neddle has not presented itself to the needle, ie the entry point in vein is larger than the vein itself and causes a feedback. That can assist in causing a bruise. If you need further information on this your doctor should be informed and He will explain. As I am not medically trained

All the best
