My first week of hemodialysis

Anyone notice the dates in this thread?

2010 FIVE years ago.

In a way it's good that it was brought up as the picture of the infiltrated arm is quite graphic. But it simply proof of one of the more common problems with needleing. Even experienced techs sometimes have issues getting the job done. Not intentionally but the pain is the same, and depending on the severity can take many days to clear up.

I know if it were me and my first time at clinic I would be hard pressed to even think about returning, and when I did, I do not believe that I could sit still and let the same tech try again.

IHD saves ALL threads for everyone to read and hopefully learn something, but Please notice the date. If it is more than just a few weeks, or months, especially years, you may want to consider withholding comment without contributing meaningful advise.

Take Care,
