I had an iv and now the my vein is hard and has a bump in it, what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thrombophlebitis: It sounds like a superficial thrombophlebitis, a common complication of having an iv. It just means that the vein has become clotted. This is not a dangerous problem, and can be treated with frequent hot compresses. See a doctor if your arm gets swollen or you get a fever.
