So I had my cath done on April 8th of this year, and these days Im noticing little hard knots like above where the catheter was inserted. Im wondering if this is ok? They dont hurt or anything, theyre just kind of..there.

I would think it's scar tissue but that's just a guess.
Hun you should ask the Doctor who performed the procedure.

Im going to call him Tuesday, since he's in MD and im in IL now, but hopefully he would be able to tell me whether or not its normal. My mother in law says its just lymph nodes, and they are probably just reacting to the procedure I had, but I thought that since its been almost 3 months ago that I had it done I shouldnt have them, but she said 3 months ago isnt really that long. But Ill ask him Tuesday, and Im going to get a pap tuesday too, so Im thinking I should ask that dr also, but then since she doesnt have my inpatient records, she wont know all the details that are in there so she wont be able to make a good decision of it. I donno, Im rambling.
Yea get the Cardio. on the phone. You're Gyno. wont be able to answer any questions about this however. Only if the two are related to each condition.Originally Posted by RetiredDancer
Also ask if you can have you're medical records faxed to you're Primary care if you have one in IL.

Thats what I figured. Ill call the dr Tuesday though, see what he says. They inserted each catheter in different spots though, like on the right groin, they went in the crease of my pelvic region, and on the left, it was closer over on my thigh. But I havent been feeling funny or anything, so Im just wondering also if they are like little calcium deposits or something.
although i agree with asking your doctor.. i think scar tissue sounds like a good explanation, and lymph nodes as well. Honestly, it could have nothing to do with your catheter, although your lymph nodes could just been on delayed reaction and realizing 3 months later that you had a foreign object in you... feel better babe, and keep us updated!

I asked the dr today, and she said its just lymph nodesNothing to worry about, YAY!
