I visited my nan in hospital today and she was on a drip she said it was hurting and it was lumped as i looked i noticed her arm was filled with liquid the nurse came and just turned off the drip and said they would have to fit a new one. Is she in any danger from the liquid in her arm? Also could it be the reason she seemed drunk? many thanks Sarah Dulson
Hello, I have studied your case. Sometime when there is movement in Chat Doctor.  It is called extravasation of the fluid. This is common occurrence, and it causes pain and swelling but not serious. It will go to be healed in 7 days. Thanks
