A member asked:

Dr., about 2 weeks ago a paramedic had difficulty inserting an iv in my hand vein. since then, my vein leaks during high impact exercise. feels tight.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vein injury: The vein was traumatized and probably damaged. If blood is leaking, apply cold applications intermittently. If the vein appears tender, hard, or inflamed and there is no sign of bleeding, then warm applications promote healing. For continuing problems, consult your physician or a vascular surgeon.
