Question: My mother is 45 yrs old and is on dialysis. She been on for 5 yrs now she has a graft on the left upper arm recently the arm has been really swollen 2-3 times its size she's all in alot of pain that it feels like stabbing and burning she says pain on scale 1-10 the pain is beyond a 10. So they tied off her graft in her arm and put the temporary one in her right side of her chest they have to custom make a new graft for her right arm due to the fact she has tiny veins. Well they said the swelling would go down and it hasnt she's been to the ER multiple times her doctor is rude the arm has been swollen bout month and a half and no one knows why!!!! Her hand is turning purple an black. She constantly crying in pain.no doctor knows why this is happening. They told her oh its nerves, a spraind wrist, theres no broken bones they did xrays no infection they did blood work no blood clots either her hand is is gettin darker and darker.
