A member asked:
Had an iv 8 days ago in elbow bend. now upper arm muscle feels like it's cramping when i use that arm. why? should i be concerned? clot?

Many possibilities: Pain in an extremity after an IV is usually related to bleeding or bruising under the skin, that may not even be visible. But sometimes it can be a sign of infection. A clot in the vein is common, but doesn't usually require treatment unless it's infected or is associated with significant swelling of the arm.
