Iam twenty years old had a picc line in right arm the eighth removed the ninth i get shooting sharp pain off and on since then and sometimes hand hurt?

May be blood clot: Those symptoms could be from a blood clot, which is a risk with any picc line placed in an arm. I would get that checked out with an ultrasound. It is important, because clots in arms can go to the lungs, which can be dangerous.
