Is it common to have bruising and soreness in the area you had an IV attached after several days of being out of the hospital?

Answer #1

Yes it’s normal for bruising, a little swelling or soreness. When the needle punctures the skin it can cause some internal bleeding and a collection of blood, which is what bruising is. When I was in the hospital last year, I had a pretty bad bruise after I was finally let out. It will go away in a bit.

Answer #3

Yes, very normal.

Answer #4
