Take your hand and put as much pressure on that thing as you are able to tolerate.

Really really hard for about 20 minutes. Don't let up on the pressure.

I had an IV blow out in the hospital a few months ago and I swear it looked like a multiple murder scene in there.

LOTS OF PRESSURE AND DON'T RELEASE IT.

Good luck!

Call an ambulance if it gets too bad.
