Ah, ok. I can't remember if there was any burning or stinging by now, but I imagine there wasn't if there were no ill effects!
I have no idea why they chose my hand, from what I remember, they didn't even try anywhere else, it was just like "Here, hold your hand out." The only time I had an IV put in my arm is when I needed general anesthesia for getting my wisdom teeth out [they were impacted]. The time I had surgery, they put an IV in my hand but not by the webbing between my thumb and finger [like they did the time it hurt], but on the other side...and they injected me with this stuff that made it puff up there...they said it would make the vein stand out more clearly or something? No idea what that was, but they ended up having to do a second try anyway.
And yeah, I always seem to be cold and dehydrated when I need needles stuck in me.
