Hi, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate group to ask in, I can't
find any info on this anywhere.

5 days ago I dislocated my arm and was given IV morphine to kill the
pain. When the doctor was doing the injection, she was wiggling the
needle around in my vein for a while, finding the right spot.  When
she actually injected the morphine, I felt a bubble of pain moving up
my vein, which didnt feel healthy as I was on hefty painkillers.

Now the area where the injection took place is *extremely* sore - it
hurts when I move my arm and I have to take painkillers for it.  Also,
I seem to remember that my vein was visible, on the surface in places
before.  It isn't now.  Can anyone tell me what's going on and give me
any advice?

Thanks a lot
