A member asked:
Is it normal for a vascular spasm in radial artery after catheterization to cause pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vasospasm: Yes this can cause pain. The vasospasm decreases blood flow to the nerves in the area causing ischemia and hence pain. TReatment is to have something warm on the affected part to promote less vasospasm and improve blood flow.
