Almost 24 hours ago I had a quick pain when I glanced away for a fraction of a second while IVing in small vein on inside of knuckle. I removed needle after feeling the pain. But then it didnt hurt after. This AM I woke up with the usual pain and swelling in my hands due to arthritis. The rest of the day was fine. A few hours ago my finger started to feel sore. It’s gotten worse over these couple hours. Finger is hot and painful to touch and throbbing. I can’t use or bend the finger due to the pain. It’s swollen and red. What could I have hit? My only guess is did I hit a nerve? Or did I stick the needle into the joint? I’ve hit nerves before in less sensitive areas & didn’t have pain like this 24 hours later. If it’s not better tomorrow I’ll have to go to urgent care or something. I just dont need my sub dr finding out. Also I don’t know if I should try ice or heat to see if it helps bc I dont know what I did. Any idea wht I hit or any advice?
