I've just had a blood test...!
Question: I've just had a blood test!.!.!.
!.!.!. and they didn't give me a sticker for being brave!. *blub*
Anyhoo, after a blood test, my arm usually settles after 20 to 30 minutes, but today it's still hurting quite badly about an inch above the scar!.
I read a couple of questions which have been asked before, but responses only said that the nurse might have hit a nerve!.
However, my nurse told me that I had, quote, "quite a big vein" - is it possible that she still poked a nerve!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
There is a possibility the phlebotomist has punctures through vein and there is an area that bled inside for a while!.!. like an internal bruise!.!. it will be swelling inside hence the pressure/pain!.!. It is likely it will bruise over the next few days!. direct pressure over the area for 10-15 minutes simple pain killers and review it !. however if it is still painful in a little while call back to the surgery Www@Answer-Health@Com
