Title: Fistula pain recently..
Post by: SteveK87 on May 12, 2012, 03:56:27 PM

My wife has been experiencing more pain than usual with one of her button holes when she is sticking herself doing home hemo.  Could this maybe be a sign of infection or just a typical thing from the constant picking of the scab and sticking?  Other than having more pain than usual nothing is out of the ordinary.  She does 5x a week for 2 1/2 hours.
