Do you mean if the "squiggle" runs perpendicular? I think that's what you're asking. That's okay too, as long as it doesn't travel/grow noticeably longer. She may have also traumatized a near-by smaller vein -or- sometimes when the larger vein is blown (causing blood to pool), the whole area just looks awful for a while, and some other veins may be visible too.
The main reason for some concern about a "squiggle" is that one that worsens can be a sign of infection (within the vein) - but this would be so rare with a sterile needle. For infection, you'd watch for redness, pain, heat, and swelling too. |
Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on it. Geez, all of this trouble because I didn't want to drive to a doctor I trust.

It feels good but it looks purple. It's not as sore as it was yesterday. Kaji insists on resting his head on my bad arm.
