I had a Remicade infusion yesterday. My left wrist has a horrible stinging pain, feels like an electrical shock from my wrist up my arm. Happens when I move my hand/wrist a certain way, very very painful, then it goes away. CouldShow more be nerve pain. This started when the tech inserted the needle in my left ante cubicle to start the infusion. She was rolling the vein around the needle because she missed the vein. While she was rolling the vein, my wrist felt like there was a sharp knife inserted into it. I told her it really hurt. She took the needle out. Inserted it into my right hand, blew the vein in my hand. The next poke was in the left ante cubicle, the infusion went through. I did complain to the nurse about the pain in the left wrist and arm. She said it would go away. It definitely hasn’t gone away. Left a message on the infusion answering machine today about the pain. No returned call yet.
Yesterday it was terrible. I requested a slower drip rate as I get a bad reaction when they put it up all the way. This has not been an issue over many years. Yesterday they refused. I’ve had a horrible time, nausea, horrible Show moreheadache, couldn’t sleep, lots of Tylenol. I want to cut my head off. 22 hours later, still have a bad headache. I have sent a note to the doctor. If this is a new policy, I will have to find a new provider.

I have been with Dr. Albert for 10+ years. He has been a great physician. He always makes time to stop in and see me while I am receiving my infusion. His staff is always caring and compassionate.

Always have had good experiences at the center.The infusion staff is 2nd to none
Excellent experience with Dr Albert. Very attentive and supportive regarding my issues. Listened to my comments and feedback, Overall very satisfied.
I didn’t tell Dr Albert I’m experiencing pain from head to toe. I thought he would order me a MRI and prescribed me a few pills until I see my pain management specialist on February 27 th to get me through. I did mention l’m having pain in my head&over the rest of my body.
