I had a blood test today and?!
Question:
I had a blood test today and?
after it was done swelling the size of an egg came up.
the nurse applied really hard pressure to in and it kina went down, but its still swollen tonight and really bruised.
Ive had bllod tests before and gave blood but never had this before, is it anything to worry about?
Answers:
the nurse has damaged the vein. Don't worry it will go down, but the brusing will last a few days/week. the vein didn't shut immediately the needle was withdrawn, or it might have done some damage on insertion.
