I had a miscarriage on feb. 3rd. When I went to the emergency room, they started an iv on the top of my left hand. The nurse then came in and put mirphine and phenigrin(sp) through the iv. It burned like hell. My entire arm turned red and blotchy. She said it was just a reaction to the drugs. The next nurse came in I dont know how long later to start a saline drip through said iv. The saline also burned like hell. This nurse noticed that the iv was no longer in my vein. She moved the iv to my right arm. All of a sudden the saline didnt burn. Well two days later, my left hand swelled up. My entire arm was and is still sore. I have these wierd bumps along the vein in my left arm. Any ideas?
