Left hand swollen after my triple bypass. can't seem to get any answer from the doctors here. treatment given: morphine, steroids & ketamine. pls help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How long?: How long after bypass? Did you have an IV infiltrate (the most common cause?) if so, give it time and it will resolve on its own. Be sure it's not infected.
