pain
 






 

Question by  MaryL4760 (1)

I was cleaning, not using my left hand, I got a terrible burning pain in that wrist with the vein swelling up. What's wrong?

I tried to rub out the burning pain, then the underside of my wrist turned very dark. I went to the doctor and she thinks the vein burst. She told me to ice and splint it up. Ordered ultra-sound in a few days. What happened?

Sounds like your doctor knows what she is talking about. Get it scanned, get it treated and go on with your life. Sometimes, veins just get a hole without there being any other causes. Sometimes it is a signal that something else is going on. You are on the right track.

This is leakage from a vein; burning pain is common with escaped blood; painful bruising often accompanies it. Icing and splinting allow a clot to form where vessel broke. This happens when veins are fragile, as in arthritis or other conditions, or blood is thin. A physician's diagnosis is necessary.

Occasionally for a variety of reasons it is possible to break a vein causing bruising and pain in the area. Typically this is due to strain, injury, or extreme positioning. Generally it is not a reason for great concern as it will clear up on its own over time.
