Should not: Normally there should not be any problems with the picc line when it's in or when it's taken out. Sometimes we do see problems such as infection, small skin nerve injuries, blood clots. Best to have it checked!

Yes: Check with your doctor to make sure you don't have a blood clot in the vein. Do this soon.

Risks: A "long line" can lead to blood clots and infections. Your physician needs to be made aware of any residual symptoms , so they can address, promptly.

Unusual: Possible to have thrombosis around picc lines and arm discomfort or swelling. If a lot of clot - swelling could involve innominate veins. I am groping for a reasonable cause but unlikely. Ultrasound can determine.
