I put a set in two days ago that I knew immediately was bad. It absolutely felt like a snake had just taken a bite. I tried to let it sit for a few minutes to see if the stinging stopped, but if I pushed on it at all it "bit" me again. I finally just pulled it and put in a new set. At that point, my lower abdomen was sore. The new set was fine, but I was sore for awhile.

I wonder if you were just close to a nerve and while you were sleeping, you laid on it in a way that you hit that nerve. Once you jumped up and pulled on the site, you pulled the cannula away from the angry nerve.

Just a guess. But I know I have had a few bites also.


I use Quicksets also.
