Yes, that's my left hand which is swelling right now because of the plaster pressing hard to prevent my stitch to bleed. I was worried earlier so I removed the plaster. The stitch is still bleeding and I haven't clean it yet and put a new clean plaster. Awhile ago it was painful and I took the pain reliever they gave me. I am still writing using my right hand where my old access is. And here is my swelling left hand.

I'm so sorry that you're still experiencing issues now that your surgery is over. Did they advise you to use ice or anything to help with the swelling?

Try to rest your hand, if you use it, your stitches will bleed more.

@LadyDuck i think at this time she needs to be patient, even if she's bored. if it keeps bleeding, then maybe she should contact her doctor or the hospital, etc.

@hereandthere Keeping the arm still is the best thing she can do.

why don't you elevate your left arm so the venous return flow will do its job? i hope you don't put down your arm, and maintain it elevated.

@JustBhem yes, cramps happen too, but between the '2 evils', what side effect would you prefer, the cramps or the swelling?
