What Causes Swelling On The Spot Of Injection?

I recently had an intervenus injected on my left hand. I wear wrist braces for carpal tunnel syndrome, however I did not wear my braces for three nights after the needle was removed. The morning after I took off my brace I noticed some swelling on the spot where I had the needle. Now I notice the swelling has moved at least two inches up towards my arm. Is that something to be concerned about - I was thinking a possible blood clot?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

usually post injection this things are common and nothing to worry much. On your safer side getting one small check will be good. As clot can not stay quiet for so long, it will give instant reaction with signs and symptoms


Also, for your carpal tunnel syndrome issue I will advice you to undergo physical therapy as it is non invasive and research supports it's recovery as well which articles are available on net.
