It's a bit hard to see from the pic to be honest.

Why do you ask?

PurpleLovecats · 14/01/2026 23:47

Could be either!

Why do you ask? IMO, unless someone is extremely hairy, it doesn't look like a regular place we take blood or cannulate. Where exactly on the body is it?

Interested in this thread?

Is it your arm in the pic or someone else's OP?

Can't really tell from the photo, but if it helps I just so happened to have a canula for several hours today from 10am - 3pm and it looks like this now (inner elbow).
Also wondering why you ask!

So inner elbow? Could still be either.

More likely to be from a blood test.

Not true my partner's hand is hairy and hospital can only get a cannula in there. Same with me! When it's in my arm my whole arm swells up

Toothfairy89 · 15/01/2026 20:05

Could be either, or both or neither. You can't tell looking at the mark.Why does it matter?

This, am assuming NOT ops arm or they’d know? Does whoevers arm this is know you’re putting it on the internet?

LIZS · 15/01/2026 20:33

Either, and a cannula might be used for bloods or treatment
