Sam Hall15 said:Is it an artery? A vein? Where exactly on your forearm are we talking about? Does it hurt when you apply pressure, or is there a constant ache? How are you feeling overall—have you run a fever at all? Have you noticed any discoloration in the skin right there, or perhaps some swelling in the arm?

I'm honestly not sure if it's an artery or a vein... it was tender when I pressed on it, but that pain seems to have subsided now. The skin color looks perfectly normal and there isn't any swelling whatsoever...

About a month ago, I underwent a procedure to relocate a dislocated shoulder, which required being put under general anesthesia. For a little while following the surgery, I was dealing with some pain running along my forearm, though thankfully that has since subsided. What’s really starting to worry me now, however, is that one of the veins in my forearm feels quite hard and inelastic, almost as if it's developed small lumps in certain spots. Has anyone else experienced something similar after a procedure like this? I would truly appreciate any insight or advice you might be able to offer.
