Any advice please

Hi guys
Not sure if you remember my post last month when I got drunk and cut myself. Anyway 1 month later my wrist has swollen so badly and getting worse and my vein is sticking out. Has this happened to anyone here?

Yes, do talk to your dr, or go to an ER if you are concerned.

It's potentially serious - could be infected if it's swollen and painful but you need to see a doctor to confirm.

Sounds infected

Go to the emergency room. Don't risk it.

I cut myself badly back in July. It was highly swollen and sort of had an enlarged vein, and the swelling is still coming down now in December. But, my experience sounds different because I started out swollen and though it has been a slooow process, I am gradually getting better. I think you should definitely see a doc.
