It’s been about three weeks since we came home from the hospital after having my daughter, and I just now noticed a small, firm vein about an inch from where my IV was inserted. Is this normal, and will it go away on its own? Is it even a vein to begin with? Has this happened to anyone before or should I get it looked at?

It doesn’t hurt, but it’s slightly mobile beneath the skin. The hardened part is about 3/4 of an inch in size and it’s located on my hand.

Any help or input is appreciated! ☺️
