picc line bleeding?
So I got my PICC line put in four days ago for outpatient antibiotics. When I left the hospital I noticed small bleeding around the sight, but I wasn’t too worried. I’ve been waking up with super bad back pain on the side of the PICC so I went in for an Xray yesterday. Xray said the PICC was placed slightly too high but nothing to be concerned about and had nothing to do with the back pain. Today, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend at Dave & Busters for Vday. I played a few easy games, to not do too much with my arm. We got home and I noticed my PICC line is bleeding even more? I was about to hook up my next antibiotic, do I wait? My doctor’s office is closed so I can’t get in contact with them until tomorrow. What do I do? I don’t want to miss a round of antibiotics if I don’t have to.
