It's been a couple of years since I used the fistula in my upper left arm, but lately it's started to give me a constant pain.
Has anyone else had this experience and know what it could be?

The one time I started to have pain in my fistula (after dialysis) it was cleared up at the vein clinic with angioplasty.

Well on dialysis I traveled a lot and posted about international trips in the Dialysis: Traveling Tips and Stories section.

After not using my fistula when I had dad's kidney and I had constant pain, it turned out to be thrombosis. Please have it checked out Whamo.

Good luck and love, Cas

Don't know, but hope it's better by now. Ask questions at your next appointment and I am sure they will put your mind at ease.  Best of luck to you!
