It has been 2 weeks since the cath and today it is actually not hurting as bad as it has the past couple. I did check with doc and he stated perfectly normal, to just give it time and treat pain with tylenol. Thank you for you input!

You didn't say how long it has been since the catheter exam.  If more than a couple of days I would think you need to discuss with you doctor(s).  

I have had a heart catheter two times, both through the leg.  I did not have any of the problems you mention. Here I translate wrist to leg for lack of symptom match.
