An IV goes into a vein and should not be related to numbness. In order for numbness to occur (temporary) one would have to have nerve damage. Perhaps if the IV infiltrated and the fluid went into the subq space and placed pressure on the nerve it might tingle until the fluid was absorbed. Probably not! Numbness is usually the result of pressure on the nerve or in the spine. Hope this helps, Angie Wooton, RN, MSN, FNP
