I had an echocardiogram 2 weeks ago where they injected contrast dye into my wrist (only vein they could find after no food or water for 8 hours). Apparently, some of the dye leaked into my wrist and has settled in the muscle on the top side of my wrist. The pain there is nearly excruciating! I have tried anti-inflamatory meds, Aspercream rubbed into the muscle and moist heat several times a day, but nothing helps. How long will the pain last? Will anything help alleviate the pain? Sometimes it hurts all the time, but sometimes only when I move my wrist a certain way. Any ideas?
