Recently went the er for dehydration. When they were inserting the iv on the inside of my left art between elbow and wrist they fished with the needle looking for the vein. Did not find vein, but now my arm will spasm and feel like its on pins and needles. When I use my arm or move it a certain way pain will shoot through my arm.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As due to the skin irritation and the muscle irritation there might be some physiological reaction with the tissue itself by which you are feeling like spasm, pins and needles sensation. Performing quick icing close to the area should help you reduce the spasm and also the abnormal sensation. These symptoms are common certain times so nothing to worry. It will go off post doing quick icing technique. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
