I have a response to my i.v. surrounded by the hospital and my arm is getting worse want suggestion.?

I had surgery finishing month and was contained by the hospital 3 seperate time for complications everytime they put in an i.v. i have problems with them. The ending time it was so sore I actually passed out. When I vanished the hosptial my arm was swollen, raw and had red streaks. It have been 2 weeks immediately the streaks are gone my arm is still extreamly painful, parts of my arm/hand are swollen and enjoy developed bruises. The doctor told me to use heat & advil and to use it but the more I use it the worse it get. The heat does give the impression of being to help. But aside from that the doctor is no assist. Could use some advice. ThanksI have a response to my i.v. surrounded by the hospital and my arm is getting worse want suggestion.?
That is phlebitis, the red streaks are the knob sign of it. All you can do to alleviate the pain is place heat, moist heat over the nouns as often as you can and whip advil, but if it is getting much worse you need to see a doctor to clear sure it isn't blood clotting or anything serious.
First, I would consult another doctor. It does sound as if you hold phlebitis, which means you will probably want antibiotics.
Good luck, and get better! I know it have to be painfull.
