stinging bolus
Julia, another possibility is that everything’s okay and it’s just that
particular site. Sometimes I’ll have sites where a bolus of more than
2.5 or 3 will sting slightly, so if I’m gonna give a 5 or something I’ll
just do it in two bursts.
But I don’t think it’s necessarily a sign of infection — after I change
those sites where it stung, there’s never any
redness/irritation/lumps/etc. My assumption is that the canula is just
too close to a nerve for comfort.
That’s completely guesswork on my part, but it’s never seemed like a big
worry! For what that’s worth…
