For the past 2 weeks when they remove one of the needles, a large bump forms under the place where the needle was, why does that happen? What does it mean - it's always the same place on my stomach.

Thanks,

Hi, that is a internal bleeding. since needles are very fine, when we remove it, the hole will close right away, just in case we have hit a vessels during insertion, then the blood can not come out but accumulated inside and form a hemotoma (bump). What you can do is to press it hard immediately, and then apply ice on it when you go back home.
