My wrist was really bothering me the last few days. Today I woke up and my arm was swollen from the elbow to my fingers. Went to Doctors and they did xrays and an ultrasound. Turns out I have a blood clot in my wrist that they think was caused by the I.V. from my surgery two weeks ago. So now they are pumping me full of anti inflamitories and blood thinners.... The good news is I've lost 32 lbs in two weeks!!

That happened to be a couple of years ago. Then again in September. The clot ended up both times in my jugular. Coumadin for 6-9 months each time. I guess I have some knarly scar tissue from my IV, Central Vein Catheter and PICC lines. If you wake up with a serious pain in the neck, it travelled there.

Did your wrist hurt all the time or only when you pressed on the spot? My wrist has been painful for the last few days, but only if you press on it....like its tender from a bruise or something. Its right down from where I had my iv and I have been wondering about a blood clot. Hope you are doing better soon!!
