I have a drain in about 200ml of blood in 18 hours . I have some very bad stabbings around my elbow and arm area . Arm high in colour.  A little hot to touch however my temp is normal . Are the stabbing pains in arm normal ? 

Many thanks

    Hi ya ...

    Well if it were me I'd give A and E a call as Drs not open now .. or the out of hours N H S  l think is 111 but you need to get it checked ... hot to the touch isn't a good sign .. but I'm not qualified ... just remember someone saying to me if it feels hot to the touch, inform G P .. it's good your temp is o.k .. but I'd deff not leave it ... have you got someone comming to check your drain ... if so look on hosp info for number ..

    But better safe then sorry ...  chrissie x
