A member asked:
Why is the vein above my wrist hurt and look swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the vein in this area was accessed for blood draw or administering any liquids or medication or blood, it can cause phlebitis giving rise to pain and swelling in the area. It should respond to hot/cold compresses and NSAIDS like ibuprofen. Hope it helps.
