I just had my 4th IVIG session today but the needle was inserted incorrectly it seems. It was uncomfortable the entire time but I didn't say anything silly me. When the needle was taken out we saw that my arm was quite swollen, freakishly so. The nurse was taken aback and didn't quite know what to do apart from tell me to elevate it which I've been doing. And to tell me to go to emerg if it got worse. So I went home. It's still swollen and am able to bend it more and seems to be going down a bit.
I know I know no medical advice etc but... ice? heat? light massage? And if some of the IG went into my tissues rather than my vein which it seems is what happened, what will happen to the IGs? Will I get the benefit of them? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
