I had a cardiac catheter done 3 weeks ago. It was through my wrist. As the doctor was pulling out it felt like she was ripping something out of my arm. after that my arm got worse and worse and it feels like it s burning from my fingertips to my shoulder. The pain is constant unless I m on pain killers

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms are normal after cardiac catheter insertion.
Elevate your arm overnight and while resting for the first 2-3 days to prevent swelling of your hand.
Mild soreness or tenderness at the site or forearm that may last 1 week.
Bruising at the site that may take 2-3 weeks to go away.
A small lump may last up to 6 weeks.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
